Текст Crazy Ex–Girlfriend Cast – Don’t Be A Lawyer

JIM:
Twenty years old, pretty smart kid
Didn’t know what I wanted to do
So I took the LSAT

Everyone said it was a real safe bet
A prestigious and lucrative vocation
So I set off on a journey
To become an attorney
Without a moment’s hesitation

But here’s some free advice I’m givin’
When it comes to decidin’ what to do for a livin’

Don’t be a lawyer!
Don’t do it! Quickest way to ruin your life
Don’t be a lawyer!
Not worth it! It’ll leave you dead inside

The job is inherently crappy
That’s why you’ve never met a lawyer who’s happy
It’s a guaranteed soul destroyer
Don’t be a lawyer

Law school debt
Daily regret
Is that really what you dreamed as a kid?
Or did you hope one day
That you’d find a way
To spend four years workin’ on a pharmaceutical company’s merger with another pharmaceutical company?

Your only expertise
Is runnin’ up fees
Speakin’ legalese like a dick

Sure, your parents might think you’re a failure
But no one’s ever said, «First, let’s kill all the tailors.»

Don’t be a lawyer!
I’m serious, it really, really sucks
Don’t be a lawyer!
No one you work with looks like Ally McBeal

There are so many other professions
That don’t turn you into Jeff Sessions
Just say no to the lawyer employer
No, don’t be a lawyer

AJ:
What about human rights law?

JIM:
No money, no, no money

AJ:
Environmental law?

JIM:
No money, even less money

AJ:
Immigration law?

JIM:
No money, plus it’s a bummer

AJ:
Okay, but what if you make it to the Supreme Court?

JIM:
It’d be great to be on the Supreme Court
But you’ll never be on the Supreme Court
There’s truly no chance of that happenin’

LAWYER:
The preceding song in no way reflects the views of CBS and the CW network
Ah, screw it

JIM:
See? Don’t be a lawyer!
