Just charge for education
The cost of college
Is waaay too expensive,
And for the under priveleged
It's very offensive.
If they would just charge for education
Instead of the building's artistic design,
More people could afford to go to school
As well as afford to dine.
There are students in college
That can't afford to eat,
Because they're forced to decide
Between tuition and meat.
Oodles of noodle is not a real meal
But for some students to get by,
This is just the deal.
It is true that some colleges have a meal plan to buy,
But if tuition is $10,000 a year
I just don't understand why.
You have to pay extra for a meal and a book,
When 40 years from now
You'll still be on the hook.
For tuition loans with so much interest
You'll never pay back,
Because the school needs to attract new students
With a giant gold monument that will eventually crack.
The huge statutes and waterfalls that makes campuses so attractive
Drives tuition up so high,
It discourages the students that once were proactive.
So stop all the extras and just charge for the education
And you'll see a much larger number,
In the college graduations.
