Lyrics
Why do I sign me up (sign me up), Comp Sci, baby
Just to quit week three (week three) when there’s loops I see?
And then worst of all (worst of all) blame the syntax, maybe
When I said I will (said I will) learn to code for real
I need it (I need it) — Silicon Valley, darling
You know that I did from the start
So sign me up (sign me up), Comp Sci… then I fall apart
“I’ll build apps by June,” I told all my friends at noon
“I’ll be coding games real soon!” (bah-dah-dah)
I open my screen, see errors in green
It’s not fine — I’m confused again
(hey, hey, hey!) Teacher, teacher, try to find
(hey, hey, hey!) a little way to explain it
(hey, hey, hey!) I’ll be home
Staring alone at Stack Overflow
ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do I hype it up (hype it up), Python, baby
Just to switch careers (switch careers) after two hard quizzes?
And then worst of all (worst of all) drop it quickly, maybe
When recursion starts (recursion starts) breaking my heart
I need it (I need it) — hoodie and laptop, darling
You know that I did from the start
So sign me up (sign me up), Comp Sci… then I hit restart
To me I’m a star — next big tech CEO for sure
This time I’ll stick it through (bah-dah-dah)
But arrays appear, and I disappear
Why can’t I just debug you?
(hey, hey, hey!) Counselor, try to find
(hey, hey, hey!) another class that’s easier
(hey, hey, hey!) I’ll be home
Refreshing my Chrome, checking withdrawals
ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do I build it up (build it up), GPA, baby
Just to drop it down (drop it down) when midterms come around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) say “next term, maybe
I’ll finally stay (finally stay) past add-drop day”
I need it (I need it) — discipline, darling
You know that I did from the start
So sign me up (sign me up), Piedmont Comp Sci… don’t break my heart
I need it (I need it) — tech dreams, baby
You know that I did from the start
So sign me up (sign me up), Comp Sci… then I drop that part
