Ph.D. Blues (Prins/Wilhelm)

I'm a Ph.D. student,I'm working night and day.
I'm writing a dissertation,and get a lousy pay.
I thought I'd be in business,but I could not decide.
I waited and I waited,and ended up in science.
Getting a degree.
If you don't know what to do.
I was looking for adventureI was looking for the truth.
I started out with reading,all pieces I could find.
Spent two months at the xerox,till I was half blind.
Then I needed some data,and much to my surprise.
I found low correlations,Is this paradise?Getting a degree.
If you don't know what to do.
I was looking for adventureI was looking for the truth.
Having a discussion,with a senior or two.
Giving all these compliments,'cause their egos need a boost.
Then I sent my work to a journal,it was in the fall.
In springtime it got rejected,'cause my sample was too small.
Getting a degree.
If you don't know what to do.You know how I feel?
Feel like a tiger in the zoo.
Had to do a presenation,at a big big big conference.
I was in this great symposium,which no one would attend.
When I got home my love had left me,'cause she could not understand.
Leading your life in science,Had to do a presenation,at a big big big conference.
I was in this great symposium,which no one would attend.
When I got home my love had left me,'cause she could not understand.
Leading your life in science,makes you lonely in the end.Getting a degree.
If you don't know what to do.
Leading a life in science,Makes you lonely in the end.
