Welcome to Clown University, take a seat
Sign your name in ink that never lets you leave
They loan you a future at a dazzling rate
Say this is the smartest choice you’ll ever make
Eighteen years old, didn’t know the game
But I could legally promise decades of pain
They said, Trust the process, follow the plan
Strange how they profit while I just pay them
Clown University, class of debt
They promised me a life I haven’t met
Cap and gown, big ceremony
But a degree doesn’t guarantee luxury
Yeah, I studied hard, did what they said
Now I’m stocking boxes instead
If this is education, applause for the fraud
Clown University should be against the law
Let’s talk about the books, the biggest joke yet
Eight hundred dollars for a paperback debt
New edition every year, same words inside
Bought it Monday, sold it back for a bus fare ride
Paid to park, paid to print, paid to exist
Paid for classes no employer ever lists
They said, These credits will open a door
Turns out the door said experience required
Clown University, laugh it up
They served us hope in a paper cup
Said invest in yourself, sounded wise
But a degree doesn’t guarantee luxury
Yeah, shake my hand, throw confetti
Now I’m stocking boxes instead
If irony’s funny, congratulations all
Clown University should be against the law
Now they say, Just go back, get one more degree
As if doubling down is clarity
Call it opportunity, call it growth
Call it interest with a friendly coat
Knowledge is priceless, some will retort
So why’s it priced like a Dubai resort?
I’m not unskilled, I’m not unaware
Just well-educated and underpaid
Clown University, top-tier scheme
Painted gold, sold the dream
They sold futures they couldn’t deliver
But a degree doesn’t guarantee luxury
So hang that diploma up on the wall
Now I’m stocking boxes instead
If this is the dream, keep the applause
Clown University should be against the law
