The Monash Blues

I wasn't able to sleep last night. So aside from thinking about that special someone whom I care for so much about, I picked up the guitar and started strumming some 6/8 blues chord progressions.

The cool thing about blues is that it complains about anything and everything in general. And what better thing to complain about than our beloved Monash Malaysia, the campus we (as in all those who are in it) all love to hate. In a matter of minutes, the lyrics started flowing in. Enjoy!

The Monash Blues
by Eddie G.

This morning I was late for class
But the security guard wouldn't let me pass
"Where's your Monash ID?" he said
I think the power's getting to his head
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

I'm sittin' in lectures, starin' at the screen
My eyes are turnin' red and my face is turnin' green
I looked at the lecturer, he looked at me
I worked so hard but all I got was a P
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

I'm a growin' man; I eat when I could
I guess I'll have me some cafeteria food
The cafe's a prison 'cos the food is like hell
I guess I'll eat up and head back to my cell
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

I guess I must have had too much to drink
I'll pay a little visit to the toilet I think
But when I got there, you could imagine the scene
"Cleanin' in progress" if you know what I mean
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

[musical interlude]

I'm headin' to the com lab to print my stuff
There are many computers, but there ain't enough
And there are some fuckers who leave their shit on
They go for a smoke and then *POOF* they're gone
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

The MUSA Student Lounge is a cool place to be
Until the Sunway College bastards come in for free
They should keep to their side of the school
Instead of playing our foosball and playing our pool
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

I'm just a poor sod, and that's a fact
The tuition fees have broken my back
And let me tell you somethin' - this ain't funny
The MUSA wankers are wastin' our money
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

We live in oppresion and organized crime
They've stolen our money and stolen our time
All this red tape really makes me sick
The Sunway Group can suck my lollipop
I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blues

I've got the blues
Yea I've got the blues
Help me! I've got the blues
Baby I've got the Monash Blueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Footnote: See, Lee. It's easy to write lyrics, all you have do is be bored, or can't sleep, or whatever. You get my point. :P Good luck, dear.
