ACCORDING TO THE PROF,
SOME SATURDAYS CAN BE
PRETTY DAMN BLUE, TOO
...


Tell It Like It Is Baby


I don't need any pep talks, man
Don't need to be told that
'Everything will be alright'
Don't sugar coat it for me, okay?

'Alright' is just a relative term
You see what I need is something
To compare that to, something else
That's not worse than 'alright'

Because I already know
That side pretty well

No, what I need is something
That's a damn sight better than
'Alright' - a damn sight better

I need something that goes beyond
The physical coupling that passes
For love in this world

Something that goes beyond beauty
Passes right by good will & leaves trust
Standing in the dust

I want proof that torture is evil
Proof that love is good
Because I have love in me
Been tortured, too

No - evidence is what this kid needs
Something I can feel, see, taste, smell

In the meantime I'll pick myself up
Grab myself by the shoulders and
Give a hard shake...WAKE UP!
Smell that coffee, man

Take a good long whiff
Because it's just a matter of time
Before the last cup's been brewed

And the sink sits full of dirty dishes

-Prof. Dirk Beat


A Difficult Choice

The sun shines its shine
The wind blows its blow
A dog barks its bark
It's time for me to go

-Prof. Dirk Beat
