my roomie wrote a paraody to gangster's paradise for mechanical engineers. Here it is for laughs:

> "As I walk through the hallways of my home Gellersen
> I take a look at my life and realize it's really fun
> I've been working on my project so long that
> All my profs just know that my mind is gone
> But I ain't never turned my homework in on time they know
> It's not that I'm lazy; I'd rather play in the snow
> Thermo, Mechatronics, Heat Power, and more
> Please tell me again what I'm at this school for
> I really hate classes, but I gotta pass
> Gotta work, don't have time for fun and games or mass,
AAARRRGGH!
> I'm the smart ME the little nerdies wanna be like
> Working late in the lab writing equations all night

> We've been spending most our lives
> Living in the ME's Paradise
> We've been spending most our lives
> Living in the ME's Paradise
> We keep spending most our lives
> Living in the ME's Paraside
> We keep spending most our lives
> Living in the ME's Paraside

> Look at the situation, they got me facin
> I can't live a normal life, I study 24-7
> So I gotta keep up with the homework
> Too much relaxation and I've no hope to catch up
> Be a educated fool with money on my mind
> In a cubicle doing some major design
> I'm a burnt out student, hoping to be freed
> Pro societies and pizza just don't feed my need, fool
> Sleep is always one more hour away
> I've gotta get my work done, what can I say?
> Up twenty three hours, if I'm lucky only twenty more
> The way things is goin I dunno
> Tell me where did all the weekends go
> Why does spring break have to come so slow
(chorus again)

> Power and the money, money and the power
> Minute after minute, hour after hour
> Everybody studies, but no one can ever leave
> It's goin on in Gellersen, we dont know what we're doin
> They say I gotta learn, and they never stop teaching me
> Well I cant understand it, they just don't reach me?
> I guess they do, I guess it's fun
>Why else would I spend 4 years of my life in Gellersen,
huh?
(chorus again)

Tell me where did all the weekends go
> Why does spring break have to come so slow
Tell me where did all the weekends go
> Why does spring break have to come so slow
