Dar Williams College Girl Lyrics

College Girl Lyrics

I'm not a leader

I'm not a left-wing,rehtoric, 

mobilizing force of one

But but there was a time way back 

many years ago in college

Don't laugh 

but I thought I was a ratical

I ran a hemp liberation league with my boyfriend 

It was true love with a common cause

and besides that he was a sagittarius



We used to say that our love was like hemp rope 

three times as strong as the rope that you buy domesticly

we would bond in the face of opression from big business

and the Deans

But I knew there was a problem

every time the group would meet 

everyone would light up

It made it difficult to discuss glaucoma, human rights

not to mention chemotherapy

 

Well, sometimes life gives us lessons 

sent in rediculous packaging

So I found him in the arms of a "student

against the trecherous use of fur"

And he gave no apology 

Just turned to me stoned out to the edge of oblivion

He didn't pull up the sheets and I think he even smiled 

as the said to me: (spoken)

-Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke.....Huhuh

-and I said:

-No, our dreams went up in dreams....you stupid pot-head

And another thing 

What kind of a name is "students 

against the trecheruos use of fur"

Fur is already dead and besides 

a name like that doesn't make a good achronym



I am older now

I know the rise and gradiual fall of a daily victory 

And I still write to my Senators saying they should

legalize cannabis and I should know

'Cause I am a horticulturist

I have a husband and two children out in Lexington, Mass.

And my ex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold out 

Because he's in a cult 

and he's not allowed to talk to me.....
