Guess what my brothers are doing?
Surprise! They’re not at NYU
What use is a degree in “Nothing Useful”
When student loans will fuck you and white-collar jobs are few
Devon’s a union welder
And Zach’s head of service at an auto shop
They’ve both done fine without college
And all the college jobs are done now by AI slop
#PRE-CHORUS
But me, I did a year at the prestige party
Took that big freakin’ leap toward a degree
They slipped fifty grand from my pocket
And I didn’t learn shit that meant shit to me
#CHORUS
So it’s...
College no more
College no more
I’m absolutely, permanently
Slamming that door
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
The professors I had were good people
Didn’t jam any bullshit down my throat
They’re just trapped on a ship that no longer makes sense
Paddling the oars on that outdated boat
#PRE-CHORUS
And that boat’s not headed for the future
At least not where I want to go
The boarding passes cost too damn much
And the route to higher earnings is way too slow
#CHORUS
So it’s...
College no more
College no more
I learn more for free on YouTube
And never get bored
College no more
College no more
I’m absolutely, permanently
Slamming that door
#BRIDGE
My dad says I’m making
A fatal decision
Mom says, “You go, girl
You’ll earn a fine livin’
My brothers say, “Hey, Sis
Do what YOU wanna do
’Cause when you take advice from others
You’ll always get screwed”
#INSTRUMENTAL
#PRE-CHORUS
My traditional brain is still weighing options
But my modern-day gut says, “Stay outta there”
If I’m smart enough for college, I should be smart and just say, “Fuck it”
And I’ve heard within five years that employers won’t care
#CHORUS
So it’s...
College no more
College no more
But what if I’m wrong
And need to go the full four?
College no more
College no more
Well, maybe I’ll politely, temporarily
Close that big door
#OUTRO
An overwhelming decision
I’m not prepared for
Should I go for prestige
Or slam that big door?
