Enlightened Oberlin

No food, no drinks in the library
Gray sky, gray day, weather contrary
Gray everything, or occasional sunshine
Work late nights, sleep during daytime

The brain of Ohio,
surrounded by fields and rust
Enlightened Oberlin
We are entitled to talk loud when we discuss

Everyday tofu
Come in late, food's run out
Quarter beer, pitchers night
Go to Sco, laugh, pass out
Roommates are wonderful
Sexiled now, go in later
Sex in theory, not fact
Books, papers, buds, books, and rolling papers

The brain of Ohio, surrounded by fields and rust
Enlightened Oberlin
We are entitled to talk loud when we discuss

The brain of Ohio, surrounded by fields and dumps
Women/boys equal
Badly paved road with big bumps
The warm glowing center of flat gray concrete swamp.
