Tripod - Bard lyrics

Meet you by the art room door In a circle on the hallway floor Teacher held you back again Drawing ogres in your textbook margin Keeping your eyes down and dodging oranges On the bus trip home Every day you're battle-scarred You'll grow up to be a bard You'll grow up to be a bard Hurt yourself at sports again You're not made for mud and wind Limping home through quiet streets Sprinkler spits a snare drum beat Kids down on the vacant block throw rocks at you For talking to yourself again Days like this are way too hard You'll grow up to be a bard You'll grow up to be a bard You'll tell your own daughter stories She'll get some dice of her own one day They can trademark the name all they like It's all ripped off Tolkien anyway 'Cause dragons and dungeons go back They go back a long, long way And they won't go away They won't go away Meet you by the art room door In a circle on the hallway floor Made up a new map last night It's got a dragon and a wizard fight Once the ranger and the thief get here We can lock the door Shut the noise out from the yard Then we can let down our guard You'll grow up to be a bard You'll grow up to... You'll grow up to be a bard You'll grow up to...
