Lets Make a List by The Van Pelt Lyrics

Let's make a list
So we can feel like we're accomplishing something
So we can feel like we're working together
Let's sit in a circle adding to the list
As we move around the room one by one
As you make a suggestion begin sternly
- you take no shit -
To give credence to your semi-constructive argument
Tomorrow we'll wonder where this generation
Gets their priorities from
Tomorrow my heart will skip a beat
As it does every morning nine months of the year
It has to do with this list
Before the bells even ring
Before the hair is even combed
Will the approach ever change
Or will it begin as i've said
And end with a lighthearted twist
To prove we're all adults?
It has to do with this list
Which we'll put in our pockets
To throw away at a later date
It has to do with this list
Which makes me feel more uncomfortable
Than i've ever felt
More apple pie than i've ever been
We are not housewives, executives, or entrepreneurs
We are teachers by trade, complainers by role
