------------------Well I woke up this morning, had them planetary blues...
I just didn't want to put on those grad student shoes, uh-uh.
Got them planetary blues, yeah.
Don't know what you get for winning, but I sure ain't gonna loseYou got faculty pimps, pushin' grad student whores...
They're all just pawns, in the research wars! uh-huh.
Got them planetary blues
Oh you don't get shit for winning, but I just don't wanna lose[Dave only]
Well, it's planets and moons and cocaine spoons...
Can't live on my stipend so I gotta play these tunes, uh-huh
[both] Got them planetary blues
You get so close to winning, but in the end you always lose[Dave]
Took my writtens and my orals, Lord knows I paid my dues
[Pat]
Shoulda gone to work for Exxon, then I wouldn't have these blues! uh-uh
[both]
Got them planetary blues
If graduation's winning, then I think I'll take a cruise[Pat]
I talked to my advisor, yes I went to see the Man
He said "Boy, fetch my slippers, that's your part of the plan", uh-huh
[both] Got them planetary blues
There ain't no way I'm winnin, gotta find myself some booze.[Instrumental]
[Pat]
I really blew my orals, I think I lost my head
They took away my money, my Vic-Baker waterbed!
[Dave]
So I'm livin' in the ghetto, I'm livin' on the street
I feel just like a piece of PLANETARY MEAT! Oh no!
[both]
Got them planetary blueeeees
Sure don't feel like winning, but I can't afford to lose...Even John Lunine ain't winning.
So I *know* I'm gonna lose.....[Outro]
