Heard the song, had to wonder... did this guy ever teach public school?
Towards the bright horizon set the way
Cast your reckless dreams upon our Mayflower
Haven from the world and her decay
Who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
Fighting for a system built to fail
Spooning water from the broken vessels
As far as I can see there is no land
Fighting for a system built to fail
Spooning water from the broken vessels
As far as I can see there is no land
Oh my God, the water's all around us
Oh my God, it's all around
Who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
Lords of war just profit from decay
And trade the children's promise for the jingle
The way we trade our hard earned time for pay
Oh my God, the water's cold and shapeless
Oh my God, it's all around
Oh my God, life is cold and formless
Oh my God, it's all around"
Oh my God, it's all around
Who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
Lords of war just profit from decay
And trade the children's promise for the jingle
The way we trade our hard earned time for pay
Oh my God, the water's cold and shapeless
Oh my God, it's all around
Oh my God, life is cold and formless
Oh my God, it's all around"
A very important note, because Oscar got the wrong impression... The first day of school was great! The song doesn't represent my current state of mind, just the way that it has felt in the past. I just thought he said it eloquently. I feel great! Right now I am floating at the very top of my bucket full of holes.
Three days of school and that's where you are? Oh, dear!!
ReplyDeleteNo No! That's not where I am! The first day was great, excellent even. The song just seemed to resonate with the way I have felt in the past.
