lyrics

Underneath the old buildings of ancient schools
Surrounded by creaky open top desks and confiscated toys
There he sits, the dust covered man
Doing everything he really enjoys
His ratty woollen mitten hands
Wrapped around a mug of perfectly brewed tea
A moth eaten checked dressing gown draped over a thinning frame
There’s nowhere he knows that he’d rather be

And he sips
And he sighs
How long has he been here
Grandfathered in
And happily ignored
Still on the payroll
After all these years
All the books he can read
Plus room and board

You may think it all changes, and generations grow weaker
The news in the air growing bleaker and bleaker but he’s
Here to tell you it was forever this way,
there’s not much that we learn
There’s no back in my day
The children are still a mess, annoying and ragged
The teachers condescending, deeply wounded and haggard
Gardens still need tending and he still has to mend the slate on the roof
You better leave now if you can’t handle the truth
