Who wants to hire a PHD?
Especially the one I have--in philosophy?

(chorus)
This PHD won't get jobs for you anymore,
and this PHD doesn't mean what it did before--
and if you want to get tenure-tracked in college,
it takes more than knowledge!

Time was that learning made you
the finest of the fine--
but now it just marks you as
the smartest in the jobless line!

(chorus)

This PHD only gives me another name
and this PHD is as useless as its frame--
and if you want to get tenure-tracked in college,
it takes more than knowledge!
