[00:14.82]My friends in government stand tall
[00:20.58]I chose academia, answered its call
[00:26.91]They change worlds
[00:28.44]Command the floor
[00:32.91]I trip over books, always wanting more
[00:36.75]Classes, meetings, endless forms
[00:39.87]Department storms, policy norms
[00:42.99]Rejections, revisions, on my plate
[00:46.23]A bright future, I anticipate
[01:11.73]My friends in banking chase their gold
[01:18.21]I walk halls, in quiet bold
[01:24.51]They seek wealth, their lives unfold
[01:30.21]I'm rich in papers, or so I'm told
[01:34.20]My friends in consulting live with ease
[01:41.79]I stayed put, with my degrees
[01:46.95]Their life glitters, fast and free
[01:53.22]I debate theories, lost at sea
[02:37.92]Classes, meetings, endless forms
[02:40.95]Department storms, policy norms
[02:44.13]Rejections, revisions, on my plate
[02:48.72]A bright future, I anticipate
[02:56.58]But between you and me
[02:58.74]This is where I love to be
[03:03.27]But between you and me
[03:05.16]This is where I love to be

My friends in government stand tall
I chose academia, answered its call
They change worlds
Command the floor
I trip over books, always wanting more
Classes, meetings, endless forms
Department storms, policy norms
Rejections, revisions, on my plate
A bright future, I anticipate
My friends in banking chase their gold
I walk halls, in quiet bold
They seek wealth, their lives unfold
I'm rich in papers, or so I'm told
My friends in consulting live with ease
I stayed put, with my degrees
Their life glitters, fast and free
I debate theories, lost at sea
Classes, meetings, endless forms
Department storms, policy norms
Rejections, revisions, on my plate
A bright future, I anticipate
But between you and me
This is where I love to be
But between you and me
This is where I love to be
