"Dormitories"

based on RUSH "Territories" Power Windows version

October 30, 1992 (finalized 11/3/92)

I see the middle floor, between third and first

that the RAs call, college at its worst

We all know that our homes, our homes are set above

this lousy warehouse, this institution for our young

In every room with a jerk, we see the same principle at work

Taking as his what is thine, tearing down meeting signs


The big bad campus, students studying every course

but when you hear a truth, consider the source

Don't feed individuality but create a lot of cliques

Never understood all those different types of Greeks

To your own drum march and hold your ground

From your own drum keep on beating out your sound


We see so many kinds, of students coming for a degree

while their neighbors dream of making them unfree

"We've got better people, better porn, and the best beer"

"but do as we say, or you'll have us to fear."

Why are they acting so tough? And if that wasn't cruel enough,

they go on to abuse your mind, if you're not one of their kind


The big bad campus, students studying every course

but when you hear a truth, consider the source

Don't feed individuality but form a lot of cliques

Never understood all those different types of Greeks

To your own drum march and hold your ground

From your own drum keep on beating out your sound


They tease you to tears, and they call names that hurt,

for a change of major, or the club on your shirt.

Better dormmates who stimulate, and support the rights of your soul

than dormmates who only hate, and hack you full of holes


The big bad campus, students studying every course

but when you hear a truth, consider the source

Don't feed individuality but form a lot of cliques

Never understood all those different types of Greeks

To your own drum march and hold your ground

From your own drum keep on beating out your sound
