This is a satirical song that mocks the value of college education. It is addressing the inflated value that Americans place on obtaining a degree.
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm going to college
Yeah, I'm going to get rich
Off of the knowledge
That I learn from college
Yeah, I know this girl
She acts like a bitch
But I bet I'll impress her with
Some fancy lecture
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'll go to Africa
Feed all the kids
With nutritional knowledge
That I learned in college
I'll go to outer-space
Yeah, I will build a ship
Find a new planet
And populate it
[Verse 3]
Yeah, on my new planet they'll
Hunger for thought
And as we've established
That's just what I've got
I'll start a college
And make it my own
And my students will learn
While I sit on my throne
