Nellie Mckay - Columbia's Bleeding lyrics

Another day begins And there you are The mother sways her shins Here comes the footstep of the man who'll make your dreams The tube is fitted in And there you are The tepid seditive Then a scream Hold your placard up Cold and coffee cup After go to a bar Hand your flier out Must admire How dedicated you are I don't wanna know if you're having fun Or your maddens are on sale I don't wanna know if you've got a gun or a new stepson Or you think you're gonna bail Chris hougan She had to run Last night been a lot of fun But now it's french A little tense She hadn't done the reading There she sat Hoped to pa** Didn't think to face the fact That oh by gosh o lack o la** Columbia is bleeding Walkin down Off the bus Vickie lucas crossed campus was Thinkin how she's made it now That successful feeling Walked by fast Hailed a cab No clue that she'd pa**ed a lab And while she's sittin in lit cla** Columbia is bleeding The surgeon is in town And there you are The clamp is comin' down Then a scream Everybody knows protestors are those Schmoes who don't have a life See these scientists seeking differences Have to suffer such strife I don't wanna know if you're havin fun Or your maddens are on sale I don't wanna know if you got a gun or a new stepson Or you think you're gonna bail Generalize, proselytize, verbs were spillin out their sides As charles eise buys his supplies gets ready for a feeding Tried for track Hit the mat Didn't think to face the fact That while he's thinkin 'man that's wack' Columbia is bleeding Quite a snob he didn't tip Nice guy rob watched the eclipse And looked around 'I've made it now I'm just so glad to be here' Made a pa** Got hand slapped Didn't think to face the fact That while he's mackin on that *** Columbia is bleeding You don't have a religion But you have fingers ten They clutch at your incision You roll them up and Then a scream They're just animals Make good edibles Fester filth and disease Check the bible son We got dominion We can do as we please I don't wanna know if you're havin fun Or your maddens are on sale I don't wanna know if you've got a gun or a new stepson Or you think you're gonna bail Hell Tee tee green Mezzanine Ended up beside the team And gave a cheer Got some beers With friends who started streakin Back with zach said 'I look fat' Didn't think to face the fact That while she's under self-attack Columbia is bleeding Rodney j began to pray His momma lost her life that day Had been a year It wasn't clear If he was safe or screamin As he jabbed the bible flap He didn't think to face the fact That barbarism k**ed the cat Columbia is bleeding This is the ivy league
