오바마의 부인 미셰 오바마는 많은 사회참여 활동을 했고, 하고 있다고 합니다. 그 중 하나를 들었는데 황당합니다. 대학에 가는 것을 장려하는 노래를 유명 가수와 함께 불렀는데 가사가 갸우뚱 정도가 아닙니다. 제목은 'Go to college'입니다. 대학을 가면 이룰 수 있고 가지 않으면 어떻게 되는지를 말하고 있습니다. 가사 전문을 싣습니다.
[Intro]
Girl: What are you gonna do after high school?
Guy: I don't know, just hang out I guess
Jay Pharoah: Hang out!?
[Verse 1: Jay Pharoah]
Your future is hazy
Tryna figure it out
Askin' why I'm here
So you crashin' in doubt
It's your choice, so voice it
Whole world your oyster
Can't be droppin' the ball
When your future's nothing to toy with
Telescope and stay focused
Make a mark and get noticed?
Get the degree, thermostat
Help me out, FLOTUS!
[Hook: Jay Pharoah + Michelle Obama]
If you wanna fly jets, you should go to college
Reach high and cash checks, fill your head with knowledge
If you wanna watch paint, don't go to college
But for everything else, you should go to college
[Verse 2: Jay Pharoah]
You could study engineering, they be buildin' robots
Build bridges, commute, you can get your walk on
Be a math major, hop a moon crater
Be an astronaut, be up in the sky like Vader
Finance isn't science but you still need a degree
Archaeology, astronomy, but not astrology
No, no, no
[Verse 3: Michelle Obama]
FLOTUS on the track
South Side, Chicago, we all know
We had to do overtime every night to make it tomorrow
And everyone could really make their dream true
Hey, kid listenin' in Michigan, that could be you
[Verse 4: Jay Pharoah]
But a dream is just a dream unless you go hard
Einstein put in time, here's a flow chart
Naturally, it won't happen magically
But you can change fantasy into reality so dramatically
[Hook: Jay Pharoah + Michelle Obama]
If you wanna fight crime, you should go to college
If you wanna write rhymes, fill your head with knowledge
If you wanna stare at grass, don't go to college
But for everything else, you should go to college
[Outro: Jay Pharoah]
Better make room! Better make room!
We comin'!
We applyin'!
That paper is not getting thrown in the garbage!
You go to college!
실은 맞는 말일 수 있습니다. 하지만 교사가 해서는 안 되는 말이고 사회 지도층 인사가 해서도 안 되는 말이라고 생각합니다.
