Ph.D.

when I find myself in times of trouble
my advisor comforts me
speaking words of wisdom
PhD PhD

and when my research seems so hopeless
my advisor says to me
we just got some funding
DOD DOD

PhD PhD PhD PhD
there will be a thesis
in 1993

and after many years of struggle
my advisor says to me
"son, I think its hopeless,
no degree, no degree"

and so I pack my bags and travel
to a state that's strange to me
seeking graduation
at good old MIT

PhD PhD PhD PhD
there will be a thesis
in 1993

PhD PhD PhD PhD
I should have blown off grad school
and gone straight to industry
