Bribing your way into Success

For years kids work hard to be successful

Many would agree that it's so stressful

We put in tears and commitment into everything we do

But it seems as if everything we’ve done just passed through


There has been a scandal

The Colleges knew it was just too much to handle

These rich parents bribing the system

Apparently it's been going on for years, it almost seems like a tradition


USC, UCLA, University of Texas at Austin, Stanford and even Yale

Oh I wonder how the parents are going to stay out of jail, this was truly a big fail

Sadly, the sports departments were a big part of this

Now they’re all fired all they can do is reminisce


Thank god the colleges kicked the kids out

It lessened the hardworking kids chances, making them having to choose another route

Now it's all over, it definitely will go down in history

Oh the way these parents really thought they’d get away with this trickery
