Academic protest songs

@EvoNeuro added some new Academy-inspired lyrics to classic 60s era protest songs, which were just awesome. It inspired me to reword another song—classic, though not from the 60s.

Old profs oh yes they rob I
Sold I to the post-doc ship
Minutes after they passed me
from the Ph - D pit
But my brain was made strong
by the boot of the Academy
We forward this grad generation
Sorrowfully
Won't you help to sing
these songs of vain hope
Cause all I ever have
Rejection songs
Rejection songs


Almost feels wrong to use this particular song. But, I think the greatness of the real song can easily survive this silliness.
