 Graduate (Four Years of College)
Graduate (Four Years of College)

Four years of college I'm holding my degree
I'm now a graduate so people look at me
Spent many hours and many sleepless nights
Now that it's over, a job is in my sights

I hold a Masters; some say I will be rich
You will not see me digging in some ditch
I'll be successful; the money is well spent
See my credentials; they show the evidence

Four years of college and now it's been one year
I'm still not working; I still have no career
I keep on searching; keep driving many miles
It's getting harder to keep up this here smile

Spend many hours on the internet
But there is nothing; I need to pay my rent
Someone please help me before I go insane
I'm feeling useless; I'm raking my poor brain

Four years of college are going down the drain
Two years and counting; I'm feeling so ashamed
What is the problem; I thought that I was smart
Someone just told me; they see I have no heart

I will be different; I'll throw away my pride
I won't be picky; I'll take it all in stride
I hold a Masters; I thought that I'd be rich
Now I am working, digging in this ditch
