tuitions due and there’s books to buy
but accounts on hold in a system glitch
students must be rich rich rich
with a credit card you can get by
but interest is at twenty-nine
conditioned for bureaucracy
eff your title nine diversity
put to the test just like a witch
is how you treat minorities
only see disability
when i provide a paper ream
but doctors charge me every time
insurance is still denied
compliance and integrity
you say it’s your priority
training module was assigned
but there’s nowhere to bill my time
cause hours worked over twenty-nine
count as unpaid overtime
adjuncts in the food stamp line

told cause i’m large i’m such a bitch
should shut my mouth marry rich
you steal my wages while boring me
held to blooms taxonomy
i'm more into perrry’s scheme
no escape and no retreat
these are things that I have seen that warn me out of the academy

so you can take my quit lit
put me on your hit list
i don’t wanna do this
diploma’s just a knick knack
i deserve my money back
can you hear my feedback
you can take my quit lit
put me on your hit list
i’m not gonna do this

soon i can be faculty
then i will have a dean
so i can have someone over me
say don’t use the word epistemology
cause they won’t know what that means
you’ll just hold up the committee
who do it all at least three times
and never ask the reason why
their service is priority
just follow the majority
make an ecological fallacy
the outliers they won’t mind
we do it to them all the time

for thirty years they’ve lied and lied
forced it through to be recognized
transfer becomes generalize
academic freedom dies
all’s quiet in the tenure line

live in fear of the IRB
unclear on generalizability
don’t deserve to reify
or say exempt category five
is only for those in the welfare line
this more than just the reason why
they’re all pissin in cups and wastin time
mindless authority
no reflexivity
these are things that I have seen that warn me out of the academy

so you can take my quit lit
put me on your hit list
i don’t wanna do this
i know there’ve been some cut backs
loans are just a poor tax
can you hear my feedback
you can take my quit lit
put me on your hit list
i’m not gonna do this

if tarynn witten can’t get tenure
then there’s no hope for me
there’s no hope for me
there's no hope for me
ten years a slave
is too much for me
it’s too much for me
it’s too much for me
if tarynn witten can’t get tenure
then there’s no hope for me
there’s no hope for me
there’s no hope for me
these are all the things that i have seen
that warn me out of the academy
these are all the things that i have seen
that warn me out of the academy

so you can take my quit lit
put me on your hit list
i’m not gonna do this
baby we can fight back
we just need a system hack
give em better feedback
not gonna give my quit lit
now you’re on my hit list
you can never stop this

you wish you had my quit lit
forget you and your hit list
you can never stop this
we just want our system back
information hijack
can you hear our feedback
don’t wanna give our quit lit
now you’re on our hit list
you can never stop this
you can never stop this
