Columbia Is Bleeding Lyrics

Cover art for Columbia Is Bleeding lyrics by Nellie McKay

This is about senseless suffering going on unnoticed by senseless sophomores at a college campus (Columbia University). It's a musically and lyrically clever juxtaposition of the inanity of students who care little about learning and the insanity of their professors who learn from the suffering of innocent creatures in the name of science. It reminds me of "A Day in the Life".
