Based on "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees
Stayin' Alive
You can tell by the way I brush my hair.
I'm a physics grad. I just don't care.
Rolling out of bed, I throw on my clothes.
I don't bother to wash. I just hold my nose.
It's all right. It's okay. We all smell here anyway.
Please don't try to understand. We take data all we can.
Whether you're a theorist or whether you'll be jobless
You'll be stayin' alive, stayin' alive
See the first years bailing, everybody emailing
Yeah, we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah, stayin' alive
I see through my prof, right through his cheer.
He wants data now or it's one more year.
4 o'clock--it's coffee hour.
And I slide on in for bagel power.
It's all right. It's okay. It's the best I'll get today.
Coffee, Coke, Snickers Bar...forgotten what the food groups are.
Whether you're a theorist or whether you'll be jobless
You'll be stayin' alive, stayin' alive
See the first years bailing, everybody emailing
Yeah, we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah, stayin' alive
You can tell by the way I'm on the run.
I'm a physicist--no time for fun.
My clothes are loud. Champaign ain't warm.
I've been a student here since I was born.
It's all right. It's okay. I may leave the field someday.
We can try to understand the Financial Times effect on man.
Whether you're a theorist or whether you'll be jobless
You'll be stayin' alive, stayin' alive
See the first years bailing, everybody emailing
Yeah, we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah, stayin' alive
