The Ineffectual Intellectual

I'm a kid from Oklahoma Only wanted a diploma I completed registration For my four year education Then off I went to college Was seeking higher knowledge I was taught by all these scholars Who were making all these dollars Didn't make a lot of buddies Was too busy with my studies Never racked up any tardies And avoided all the parties When graduating I was glad But there were no jobs to be had Now I'm living back at home Can't pay off my student loan My parents are so disgusted Say the system can't be trusted Became an ineffectual Out of work intellectual
