Lyrics: (also available as subtitles)
Can't get a job without a college degree
So four more years just to be a trainee
Thirty thousand dollars is what I owe
But I don't get shifts and I get furloughed
You work sixty hours, what do you get?
Mental disorders and mountains of debt - Ain't
Gonna pay off no student loan
And long as I live i won't own my home
Prices inflate at double speed of my wage
Can't make a difference so I disengage
All they care about's if i'm there on time
The economy's booming but none of it's mine
You work sixty hours, what do you get?
Mental disorders and mountains of debt - Ain't
gonna pay off no student loan
And long as I live i won't own my home
Try to stay positive and live a good life
But there's constant reminders of the trouble and strife
Angry and scary and stupid and sad
Netflix and sugar so I don't feel bad
You work sixty hours, what do you get?
Mental disorders and mountains of debt - Ain't
gonna pay off no student loan
And long as I live i won't own my home
Amazon, google and facebook are god
The Nazi's are back and we're sparing the rod
Action on climate change's come to a halt
And the old generation says it's all my fault
You work sixty hours, what do you get?
Mental disorders and mountains of debt - Ain't
gonna pay off no student loan
And long as I live i won't own my home
Made with the Boss RC505 Loop Station and the Microkorg XL+
