Intro39 in, 39 out, we all showed up on day oneNobody knew the chaos that was about to becomeProfessors, classmates, late nights on ZoomBy the time this thing is over, we'll have filled every roomVerse 1Paulo said, "Find someone dumber to buy what you sold"Dezso said the American dream is psychedelics and goldJudy's at the grocery store ready to, uh— anywayRich said everything in finance is hypothetical, okayAnand said football's his job and teaching is the side"Don't tell the Dean" — meanwhile Dave's proving charts liedKimbrough said "I'm scared" while the class got loudKislaya said "Let's fire up Excel!" — the whole room was proudJim Hurd dropped it clean: "Attitude reflects leadership"Andrew Sherman said tax avoidance is your patriotic relationship"We're all Jim Hurd" — and "nothing like saying we're superfucked"To get a response when your deal is stuckChorusWe know nothing for certain, but we showed up each weekLearning in a classroom, on a rooftop, half asleepFrom Excel to accruals to GDP from the heartThis cohort was chaotic — but that was the art39 in, 39 out — and we all played our partVerse 2Dasha said if you learn it drunk it sticks for lifeJerquan negotiated to 1.5, shook hands like it's right"I said 1.2, they said bullshit" — that's the MBA wayClose the gap in the middle, walk away with the playWendy told Monica, "best presentation I've seen — not yours"Rajshree asked for Senthil's logic, he said none, of courseStacy said she believes in love, unlike these menNick H was sobbing laughing — took a screenshot, thenBrent knows the answer but can't say it rightTim's alarm clock will outlive him through the night"Calm down, Tim, it's just a bake sale" — Brent said it cleanAnd Ira's smiling at his screen like he knows what it meansChorusWe know nothing for certain, but we showed up each weekLearning in a classroom, on a Zoom, half asleepFrom Excel to accruals to GDP from the heartThis cohort was chaotic — but that was the art39 in, 39 out — and we all played our partBridgeDezso said: "Is it enough? What can I say? Take the risk."That's the thesis, that's the motto, write it down on the listDon't be the first penguin jumping through the iceBe the tenth — that's Andrew's advice"However comma" — Dave had his thingCooking without spice — Drew K said it ain't worth anything"Let Kimbrough cook!" — Von E. let him breatheTiffany said transformative leadership don't need a leaveOutroIt all works out as long as it works out — Rich said soKislaya's done his job, it's downhill, let's go"My job here is done" — but it never really wasBecause the cohort keeps on running just because39 in, 39 out — but something stayed behindThe quotes, the chaos, the people, the grind"We know nothing for certain" — that's the last thing saidBut we knew each other. That's enough instead.
