"The Bride" lyrics

I heard you spent the last six months
At an unpaid internship
But then got the news, they had to cut you lose
Profits wearing thin

Since you graduated
You've found the market populated
With kids just like you, in business suits
Degrees from state schools

I know what you're going through
My academic adviser said she'd line up some interviews
That was two months ago this June
I followed through, turned out she'd been laid off too

Oh, Dr. Hildreth, what are we to do?
This choice is for life and we can't decide
We can't decide

We are the bride, stripped bare by her Bachelors
We are the wife, unaware of the servitude ahead
For all time, subservient per capita
Stand up

Your Bachelors won't earn
Half the debt that you've incurred
So go call student loans
Tell them, "I need another six months, I need some more time to work"

Your Bachelors won't earn
Half the debt that you've incurred
So go call student loans
Tell them, "I need another six months, I need some more time to work"
