Lyrics
If I saw einstein walking,
would he stop and say hello
And if by chance I saw darwin,
would he say brother how is your soul
Something so close slips away
I'm sick but you can't make me better
I'm lonely but you won't keep me company
I look for answers but you don't know what's true
You don't care about me, so I don't care about you
Please aristotle, stop for coffee
Oh mr. freud, you talk about your mom too much
If descartes would stop thinking for just one minute,
would he cease to be
Should I hang you on my mantle,
so that everyone can see
Stupid thing that I sold my life for,
this liberal arts degree
You're pumpin' info in my hread straight hour after hour
My brain's getting big while my heart grows smaller
I'm learnin' your terms night after night
But the test don't help me in real life
You say my feelings aren't vaid, I can't trust these eyes
I'd rather trust them than these old dead guys
I'm wearing my pride like a big fat crown
My debts go up while my love goes down
I'm not tryin' to complain I'm just trying to rhyme
That my liberal arts degree was a waste of time
