== Lyrics ==

another day begins<br>
and there you are<br>
the mother sways her shins<br>
here comes the footstep of the man who'll make your dreams<br>
the tube is fitted in<br>
and there you are<br>
the tepid seditive<br>
then a scream<br>

hold your placard up / cold and coffee cup<br>
after go to a bar<br>
hand your flier out / must admire<br>
how dedicated you are<br>
i don't wanna know if you're having fun<br>
or your maddens are on sale<br>
i don't wanna know if you've got a gun or a new stepson<br>
or you think you're gonna bail<br>

chris hougan / she had to run<br>
last night been a lot of fun<br>
but now it's french / a little tense<br>
she hadn't done the reading<br>
there she sat / hoped to pass<br>
didn't think to face the fact<br>
that oh by gosh o lack o lass<br>
columbia is bleeding<br>
walkin down / off the bus<br>
vickie lucas crossed campus was<br>
thinkin how she's made it now<br>
that successful feeling<br>
walked by fast / hailed a cab<br>
no clue that she'd passed a lab<br>
and while she's sittin in lit class<br>
columbia is bleeding<br>

the surgeon is in town<br>
and there you are<br>
the clamp is comin' down<br>
then a scream<br>

everybody knows protestors are those<br>
schmoes who don't have a life<br>
see these scientists seeking differences<br>
have to suffer such strife<br>
i don't wanna know if you're havin fun<br>
or your maddens are on sale<br>
i don't wanna know if you got a gun or a new stepson<br>
or you think you're gonna bail<br>

generalize, proselytize, verbs were spillin out their sides<br>
as charles eise buys his supplies gets ready for a feeding<br>
tried for track / hit the mat<br>
didn't think to face the fact<br>
that while he's thinkin 'man that's wack'<br>
columbia is bleeding<br>
quite a snob he didn't tip<br>
nice guy rob watched the eclipse<br>
and looked around / 'i've made it now<br>
i'm just so glad to be here'<br>
made a pass / got hand slapped<br>
didn't think to face the fact<br>
that while he's mackin on that ass<br>
columbia is bleeding<br>

you don't have a religion<br>
but you have fingers ten<br>
they clutch at your incision<br>
you roll them up and<br>
then a scream<br>

they're just animals / make good edibles<br>
fester filth and disease<br>
check the bible son / we got dominion<br>
we can do as we please<br>
i don't wanna know if you're havin fun<br>
or your maddens are on sale<br>
i don't wanna know if you've got a gun or a new stepson<br>
or you think you're gonna bail / hell<br>

tee tee green / mezzanine<br>
ended up beside the team<br>
and gave a cheer / got some beers<br>
with friends who started streakin<br>
back with zach said 'i look fat'<br>
didn't think to face the fact<br>
that while she's under self-attack<br>
columbia is bleeding<br>
rodney j began to pray<br>
his momma lost her life that day<br>
had been a year / it wasn't clear<br>
if he was safe or screamin<br>
as he jabbed the bible flap<br>
he didn't think to face the fact<br>
that barbarism killed the cat<br>
columbia is bleeding<br>

this is the ivy league<br>''
