Week 126 - "Taking a Dip in the Adjunct Pool"

Lyrics:
Takin' a dip, dip.
Takin' a dip, dip.
Takin' a dip, dip.
Takin' a dip, dip.
Woo-oo-oo-oo
Woo-oo-oo-oo

I've always been the leader of my class.
There was no test in college I could not pass.
I always knew for certain I'd get an A.
You want some proof just check out my GPA.
I've always been good, did everything the guidance counselor said I should.

I graduated with a 4.0
Cum laude stamped on my diploma to show.
I went right on to get my PhD
I knew employers would be begging for me.
But now I'm done with school, and taking a dip in the adjunct pool.

The guy in high school that made straight Cs and Ds
Has done quite well, he makes more money than me.
I'm living in my car and eating fast food.
Sometimes I wonder if I really got screwed.
They played me for a fool, I'm taking a dip in the adjunct pool.

Well there's one nice thing about having no home.
They can't mail me my bills for my student loan.
What will I do come winter's chilly breeze?
Burn my diplomas so that I do not freeze.
They're paying me in gruel, I'm taking a dip in the adjunct pool.
