[INTRO – ENSEMBLE]
(stomps, claps building)
ENSEMBLE:
Ladies and gentlemen! Step right up!
Education meets expectation—watch it erupt!
⸻
[ROUND 1]
GRAD (fast, aggressive):
I was told “get a degree, that’s the key to the door”
Now I’m locked in a system I can’t afford
You sold me a promise dressed up as a plan
Now I’m paying for a future that I don’t understand
I did the work, I put in the years
Now I’m drowning in interest, choking on fears
You call it “investment,” I call it a trap
Signed at eighteen—who explains all that?
ENSEMBLE:
OOOH!
⸻
BANK (smooth, controlled):
Let’s get one thing straight—you made your choice
Nobody forced you, you had a voice
We offered a path, you took the ride
Now you mad ‘cause the cost came with the prize?
This is a system—it runs on trust
You borrow the funds, you pay what you must
You wanted the title, the status, the climb
Now you owe the bill—plus interest over time
ENSEMBLE:
Talk that talk!
⸻
[ROUND 2]
GRAD (faster, sharper):
“Had a choice?” That’s funny, let’s break it down—
Go to school or get stuck in a minimum town
Every teacher, every ad, every voice said “go!”
But nobody mentioned the lifelong OWE
You profit off dreams, you package the hope
Then tighten the leash with a financial rope
I’m working two jobs just to stay in place
Tell me—where’s the freedom you said I’d chase?
ENSEMBLE:
HE GOT YOU!
⸻
BANK (cutting, slightly defensive):
You wanted returns—this isn’t a game
Degrees bring opportunity, not instant fame
We manage risk, we calculate cost
Some win big, some take a loss
You blame the system, but play your part
Signed your name—that’s where it starts
We didn’t create ambition or need
We just supplied what you chose to receive
ENSEMBLE:
Hmmmmm…
⸻
[ROUND 3 – OVERLAPPING / INTENSE]
GRAD:
You built a ladder with missing rungs!
BANK:
You climbed it anyway—young and sprung!
GRAD:
You knew the fall would break my back!
BANK:
You signed the terms—don’t dodge the fact!
GRAD:
Dreams shouldn’t come with chains attached!
BANK:
Dreams cost money—that’s a match!
GRAD:
You sell the hope then own the soul!
BANK:
We fund the dream—you chose the goal!
⸻
[BREAK – ENSEMBLE CHANT]
ENSEMBLE (rhythmic):
Who’s to blame? Who’s to blame?
Is it the system or the game?
