Apehead's brother wants to beat up Paul |
|
The boys have gone to watch |
|
Some of the girls are down at the mall |
|
Justine's got cherry cola and scotch |
|
Later on it's everyone around to Beck's |
|
Her parents are away in New York |
|
Sara, well, she just can't bear |
|
The stupidity, the boredom, the grind |
|
She stays at school so that she can hear |
|
The sound of the life of the mind |
|
And it's noisy up there |
|
It rocks me like a mother |
|
Rosa Parks and DNA |
|
Joan of Arc and JFK |
|
But it's noisy up there |
|
(Noisy up there) |
|
It rocks me like a mother |
|
Oh, ohh, oh, ohh |
|
Oh, oh, oh |
|
Oh, oh, oh |
|
She's cut 'em all out of her social circle |
|
Won't introduce them to Lincoln or Frost |
|
Doesn't want to let them get to know Keats or Studs Terkel |
|
They'll never know what they have lost |
|
But Sara, well, she just can't bear |
|
The stupidity, the boredom, the grind |
|
She stays at school so that she can hear |
|
The sound of the life of the mind |
|
And it's noisy up there |
|
(Noisy up there) |
|
It rocks me like a mother |
|
Copernicus and Fortune's Wheel |
|
Plato, Mengele and the New Deal |
|
And it's noisy up there |
|
(Noisy up there) |
|
It rocks me like a mother |
|
Sara already knows pretty soon she'll be leaving |
|
Well, she's hoovered up whatever she can find |
|
But she doesn't want to hear about |
|
Pregnancies, foam fights, TV, take-outs, have sex, weddings |
|
The sound of the life she'll leave behind |
|
Yeah, it's noisy up there |
|
(Noisy up there) |
|
It rocks me like a mother |
|
Oh, ohh, oh, ohh |
|
Oh, oh, oh |
|
And it's noisy up there |
|
(Noisy up there) |
|
It rocks me like a mother |
|
Oh, ohh, oh, ohh |
|
Oh, oh, oh |
