Scribble your name on the desk,
Erase it and write it again
I don't blame you
I have trouble paying attention too

Scribble my head with horns, a bad suit, and a face that looks worn
I don't blame you
Sometimes I see myself that way too

And it may "take a village,"
But sometimes it seems that the village is to blame

The writing's on the chalkboard
We should be saying so much more
I should be saying so much more

I'm sorry that you feel like this school bus drives you down a desperate dead end
Where you hear me speak fallacies, like the importance of apostrophes
And the difference between the ocean and the sea
So please bear with me while I try to balance my professional posturing
With my punk rock posturing

Scribble your name on the desk,
Erase it and write it again

The writing's on the chalkboard
We should be saying so much more,
Should be saying so much more

The writing's on the chalkboard
We should be saying so much more,
We should be saying so much more
