The Grinder

 

Grinding it out

Go to school for 4 years

Studying for the safe secure job

30% of x in this job make y number of dollars out of college

Cramming all night long for two final exams because if I don’t get the grade I can’t get the degree

 

Grinding it out

Write the resume

Dress in the nice suit and tie first impressions are everything

The interview confidently talk about how experience a relates to future b how it equals how I can be valuable to company x

Sorry not enough experience

Sorry the slots been filled

Finally a job

 

Grinding it out

Have to pay back on those student loans

Minimum payment here minimum payment there

How’s work?

Oh it’s good, oh it’s ok

Forgetting what exactly was the definition of an information system?

Pushing the pencil

Working for someone else’s dollar

 

Grinding it out

Man I’m tired of counting someone else’s money

What did I go to school for?

What did I want to be when I grew up?
