They never do their job and they still get paid.
I don't know how many people work in there,
But I never get my money and that s@#% ain't fair.
All I'm trying to get is a higher education,
They take a lunch break as long as a vacation.
You try the phone system to not waste gas,
They hear it ringing and just sit on that a#%.
You try not to get mad, instead stay calm,
You really want the side of their head to meet the inside of your palm.
A slap so hard they might have a suggestion.
The paperwork you turn in never gets processed,
When you see what's wrong, it's still in their office.
Weakened legs and bodies from standing in that line,
One person finally got some money but what about mine?
I don't know 'bout you, but this makes me sick,
It won't really matter come December 10th.
Yes, that's the day scheduled to graduate
It you don't get dropped 'cause your aid ain't straight.
