Columbia Is Bleeding Lyrics
[00:11.38] Another day begins
[00:14.15] And there you are
[00:17.19] The mother sways her shins
[00:21.52] Here comes the footstep of the man who'll make your dreams
[00:29.08] The tube is fitted in
[00:32.33] And there you are
[00:35.88] The tepid sedative
[00:39.05] Then a scream
[00:45.23] Hold your placard up
[00:45.97] Cold and coffee cup
[00:46.77] After go to a bar
[00:48.35] Hand your flier out
[00:49.06] Must admire how
[00:49.96] Dedicated you are
[00:50.55] (Bridge)
[00:51.56] I don't wanna know
[00:52.22] If you're havin fun
[00:52.89] Or your maddens are on sale
[00:54.33] I don't wanna know
[00:54.95] If you've got a gun
[00:55.74] Or a new stepson
[00:56.58] Or you think you're gonna bail
[00:59.03] Chris Hougan
[00:59.62] She had to run
[01:00.34] Last night been a lot of fun
[01:02.00] But now it's French
[01:02.78] A little tense
[01:03.67] She hadn't done the reading
[01:05.12] There she sat
[01:05.83] Hoped to pass
[01:06.62] Didn't think to face the fact that
[01:08.21] Oh by gosh
[01:08.99] Alas alack
[01:09.71] Columbia is bleeding
[01:11.43] Walkin down
[01:12.17] Off the bus
[01:12.85] Vickie Lucas crossed campus
[01:14.42] Was thinkin how
[01:15.32] She's made it now
[01:15.99] That successful feelin
[01:17.89] Walked by fast
[01:18.40] Hailed a cab
[01:19.13] No clue that she'd passed a lab
[01:20.56] And while she's sittin in lit class
[01:22.06] Columbia is bleeding
[01:23.99] The surgeon is in town
[01:27.22] And there you are
[01:32.18] The clamp is comin down
[01:35.68] Then a scream
[01:41.96] Everybody knows
[01:42.63] Protestors are those
[01:43.43] Schmoes who don't have a life
[01:44.84] See these scientists
[01:45.67] Seekin differences
[01:46.45] Have to suffer such strife
[01:48.19] (Bridge)
[01:49.08] I don't wanna know
[01:49.83] If you're havin fun
[01:51.06] Or your maddens are on sale
[01:51.50] I don't wanna know
[01:52.27] If you've got a gun
[01:53.08] Or a new stepson
[01:53.81] Or you think you're gonna bail
[01:56.47] Generalize
[01:57.10] Proselytize
[01:57.95] Words were spillin out their sides
[01:59.24] As Charles Eise
[02:00.05] Buys his supplies
[02:00.77] Gets ready for a feedin
[02:02.57] Tried for track
[02:03.14] Hit the mat
[02:03.97] Didn't think to face the fact
[02:05.27] That while he's thinking
[02:06.08] Man that's wack
[02:06.83] Columbia is bleeding
[02:08.73] Quite a snob
[02:09.48] He didn't tip
[02:10.16] Nice guy Rob watched the eclipse
[02:11.72] Then looked around
[02:12.57] I've made it now
[02:13.12] I'm just so glad to be here
[02:14.96] Made a pass
[02:15.60] Got hand slapped
[02:16.57] Didn't think to face the fact
[02:18.03] That while he's mackin on that ass
[02:19.26] Columbia is bleeding
[02:30.06] You don't have a religion
[02:32.01] But you have fingers ten
[02:34.59] They clutch at your incision
[02:37.83] You roll them up and
[02:39.72] Then a scream
[02:49.47] They're just animals
[02:50.52] Make good edibles
[02:51.43] Fester filth and disease
[02:52.34] Check the bible son
[02:52.93] We got dominion
[02:53.89] We can do as we please
[02:55.09] (Bridge)
[02:55.89] I don't wanna know
[02:56.76] If you're havin fun
[02:57.36] Or your maddens are on sale
[02:58.43] I don't wanna know
[02:59.14] If you've got a gun
[02:59.94] Or a new stepson
[03:00.62] Or you think you're gonna bail
[03:03.17] Tee Tee Green
[03:03.78] Mezzanine
[03:04.50] Ended up beside the team
[03:06.14] Then gave a cheer
[03:06.70] Got some beers
[03:07.57] With friends who started streakin
[03:09.36] Back with Zach
[03:10.07] Said "I look fat"
[03:10.67] Didn't think to face the fact
[03:12.23] That while she's under self attack
[03:12.90] Columbia is bleeding
[03:15.43] Rodney J
[03:16.10] Began to pray
[03:16.82] His momma lost her life that day
[03:18.33] Had been a year
[03:19.04] It wasn't clear
[03:19.74] If he was safe or screamin
[03:21.51] As he jabbed the bible flap
[03:23.16] He didn't think to face the fact
[03:24.68] That barbarism killed the cat
[03:26.06] Columbia is bleeding
