Inelastic Demand aka College

Location

Rite of passage or societally sold obstacle

Never ever ending hope, never ending despair

Educational institutions or corporate behemoths

 

Debt, Debt, Debt is all millennials know

All our life is all we owe

Pushing, fighting, growing, succeeding

 

All we’re really trying to do is grow

Never ending class struggle

Oh, yes.

 

Take a look at the food you’ll pay for the next ten years

The book you’ll use 6 months

the gym you’ll use twice

 

Is it really worth all the debt?

Faces, experiences, jobs careers that forced growth upon me

It’s worth every penny,

A penny, I wish, is all it cost
