Postdoc Blues Songtext

von John K. Samson

So your presentation went terrible
All wrong dongles, sweat stains and stares
Leave the TV on with the sound down low in your underwear

Don't despair you'll get it right tomorrow night
In Thunder Bay, maybe
Don't delay, your day is short
You can't afford to wait

I believe in you and your PowerPoints
I know why you can't stay away
Out on Highway 1 with the rental car and a lot to say

Don't despair you'll get it right tomorrow night
In Nipigon, maybe
Don't delay, our day is short
You can't afford to wait

So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it
And recommit yourself to the healing of the world
And to the welfare of all creatures upon it
Pursue of practice
That will strengthen your heart
