Columbia's Bleeding Lyrics - Pretty Little Head - Nellie Mckay

Another day begins 

And there you are 

The mother sways her shins 

Here comes the footstep of the man who'll make your dreams 

The tube is fitted in 

And there you are 

The tepid sedative 

Then a scream 

Hold your placard up 

Cold and coffee cup 

After go to a bar 

Hand your flier out 

Must admire how 

Dedicated you are 

(Bridge) 

I don't wanna know 

If you're havin fun 

Or your maddens are on sale 

I don't wanna know 

If you've got a gun 

Or a new stepson 

Or you think you're gonna bail

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Chris Hougan 

She had to run 

Last night been a lot of fun 

But now it's French 

A little tense 

She hadn't done the reading 

There she sat 

Hoped to pass 

Didn't think to face the fact that 

Oh by gosh 

Alas alack 

Columbia is bleeding 

Walkin down 

Off the bus 

Vickie Lucas crossed campus 

Was thinkin how 

She's made it now 

That successful feelin 

Walked by fast 

Hailed a cab 

No clue that she'd passed a lab 

And while she's sittin in lit class 

Columbia is bleeding 

Photos 

The surgeon is in town 

And there you are 

The clamp is comin down 

Then a scream 

Everybody knows 

Protestors are those 

Schmoes who don't have a life 

See these scientists 

Seekin differences 

Have to suffer such strife 

(Bridge) 

I don't wanna know 

If you're havin fun 

Or your maddens are on sale 

I don't wanna know 

If you've got a gun 

Or a new stepson 

Or you think you're gonna bail 

Generalize 

Proselytize 

Words were spillin out their sides 

As Charles Eise 

Buys his supplies 

Gets ready for a feedin 

Tried for track 

Hit the mat 

Didn't think to face the fact 

That while he's thinking 

Man that's wack 

Columbia is bleeding 

Quite a snob 

He didn't tip 

Nice guy Rob watched the eclipse 

Then looked around 

I've made it now 

I'm just so glad to be here 

Made a pass 

Got hand slapped 

Didn't think to face the fact 

That while he's mackin on that ass 

Columbia is bleeding 

You don't have a religion 

But you have fingers ten 

They clutch at your incision 

You roll them up and 

Then a scream 

They're just animals 

Make good edibles 

Fester filth and disease 

Check the bible son 

We got dominion 

We can do as we please 

(Bridge) 

I don't wanna know 

If you're havin fun 

Or your maddens are on sale 

I don't wanna know 

If you've got a gun 

Or a new stepson 

Or you think you're gonna bail 

Tee Tee Green 

Mezzanine 

Ended up beside the team 

Then gave a cheer 

Got some beers 

With friends who started streakin 

Back with Zach 

Said "I look fat" 

Didn't think to face the fact 

That while she's under self attack 

Columbia is bleeding 

Rodney J 

Began to pray 

His momma lost her life that day 

Had been a year 

It wasn't clear 

If he was safe or screamin 

As he jabbed the bible flap 

He didn't think to face the fact 

That barbarism killed the cat 

Columbia is bleeding 

This is the Ivy League 

Columbia is bleeding... 

Columbia is bleeding...
