an ode to philosophy majors,
a lament for my generation.
lyrics
the Future is born everyday--
it's a new animal; it's a new thing,
and It changes as it ages.
Everything's possible! (Anything!)
oh, what will Things be like when We're older?
We don't know, but still we're told how to be.
what will this crumbling/crazy world be like when we're older?
It's up to Us, but we just keep reading about it.
but it's so hard to:
take all these books that We've read and:
throw them all into the fire, and
calculate thoughts in Our heads!
&
all of these books did Us well,
&
all of these books gave Us debt...
&
where does it leave Us?
do You remember:
what Nietzsche said?(x2)
that: when You worry It's ruined, It will be.
baby don't worry(x2)
'cause when you worry
it worries me!
baby don't worry!(x2)
don't be afraid of your Fear.
It's your own dragon; It's your own dragon to slay.
And learn what You can
before You go!
but be prepared
to throw it all
away!
and it's so hard to:
take all these books that We've read,
&
throw them all into the fire,
&
calculate thoughts in Our heads!
&
all of these books did Us well,
&
all of these books gave Us debt,
&
where does it leave Us?
do You remember:
what the Doormouse said?(x2)
(He couldn't remember!)
...
&
it's so hard to:
take all these book that We've read,
&
throw them all out the window
&
answer with Our Hearts instead.
&
all of these books did Us well,
&
all of these books gave Us debt,
&
where does it leave Us?
