You wake up late for school, man you don't wanna go
You only went to sleep about an hour ago
You’ve got four classes, and still have to work
And your postdoc’s waiting and he’s going bezerk
You gotta fight for your right to graduate
Your boss saw your data and he says, "No way!"
That hypocrite hasn’t been in town since May
Man, candidacy is such a drag
The chair of your committee is a big air-bag!
You gotta fight for your right to graduate
(interlude)
Time for your defense better say a prayer
You don’t have a job, Hell its just not fair
Your boss busted in and said, "What's that plot?
Aw, You think you’re getting out, but I know you’re not!”
You gotta fight for your right to graduate
You gotta fight for your right to graduate
