Chorus
Extro
Professor, you’ve been babbling for an hour
Immune from life outside your ivory tower
Your arguments are slick and error-free
They may make sense to you but not to me
Your theorems cannot feed a hungry mouth
Your lemmas can’t erase mistrust and doubt
Your corollaries are so squeaky-clean
Has anybody asked you what they mean?
Ignorance was surely bliss
There must be more to science than this
No longer shall I be impressed
No longer is my soul possessed
I came for wisdom and philosophy
Instead I found deferred reality
Relevance is nowhere to be found
Common sense is six feet underground
Politicians lead us to the sea
Fanatics kill each other off with glee
If war broke out, I would not be surprised
Perhaps the syllabus should be revised
Maybe I’ll return someday
Then I could while the hours away
Chronicling my thoughts and deeds
In journals no one ever reads
