Twenty years old, pretty smart kid
Didn't know what I wanted to do
So I took the LSAT
And then just like that got accepted at Glendale U
Everyone said it was a real safe bet
A prestigious and lucrative vocation
So I set out on a journey to become an attorney
Without a moment's hesitation
But here's some free advice I'm giving
When it comes to deciding what to do for a living
Don't be a lawyer!
Don't do it, quickest way to ruin your life
Don't be a lawyer!
Not worth it, it'll leave you dead inside
The job is inherently crappy
That's why you've never met a lawyer who's happy
It's a guaranteed soul destroyer
Don't be a lawyer!
Law school debt, daily regret
Is that what you dreamed of as a kid?
Or did you hope one day
That you'd find a way to spend four years
Working on a pharmaceutical company's
Merger with another pharmaceutical company?
Your only expertise, is running up fees
Speaking legalese like a dick
But it's not too late
To avoid this fate
Find any other job to pick
Sure your parents might think you're a failure
But no one's ever said, "First, let's kill all the tailors"
Don't be a lawyer!
I'm serious it really, really sucks
Don't be a lawyer
No one you work with looks like Ally McBeal
There are so many other professions
That don't turn you into Jeff Sessions
Just say no to the lawyer employer (No!)
Don't be a lawyer!
(What about human rights law?)
No money, no-no money
(Environmental law?)
No money, even less money
(Immigration law?)
No money, plus it's a bummer
(Okay, but what if one day you make it to the Supreme Court?)
It'd be great to be on the Supreme Court
But you'll never be on the Supreme Court
There's truly no chance of that happening
