lirik lagu dead ends (philippines) - college degree
a different kind of war
a different kind of game
a different kind of struggle
a different kind of pain
it’s a war of the senses
a war of the mind
everyone hopes to win but
few ever survive
another kind of battle
against all possible odds
against one’s own faults
against one’s stupid luck
a struggle to rise above
the stink of poverty
some call it education
some call it futility!
most people want to earn some money
to satisfy their needs & wants
that’s why some choose to go to college
and earn themselves degrees!
[refrain]
piece of paper, meal ticket
piece of paper, for display!
[verse]
they’re taught to keep a balanced book
but end up being first-cl-ss crooks
they’re taught how to design machines
but end up selling children’s books
[refrain]
piece of paper, meal ticket
piece of paper, for display!
[outro]
it’s not education they’re after
but that piece of paper to hang on their walls
