Fields are Burning by Jethal ( MP3 Download )
As sung to “Beds are Burning” by Midnight Oil
Don’t you find it funny that the librarians of Myrist have been out there all these hundreds of years.. but need US to do their work for them? That’s the basis of this song.. lazy librarians..
Here in Myrist’s halls
Seekers of knowledge have it all
Life-times of books lay in store
They send us out to get them more..
We have come
We’ll find the stacks
To read and learn
But they still lack
We have come
And they dare
With little thought
to our welfare
Now they send us, while they sit, book learning
Harvesting Mats while the fields are burning!
It’s all ablaze.. a bit concerning..
Cataloging the beasts, while the fields are burning!
Uncounted volumes
Now with us about
Greedy for more
So, they’ll send us out
Seeking out the hidden clues
exhausting ashen avenues
Lava flows, like a stream
Scorch our lungs, as we breathe
We have come
Our feet are sore..
They’re lounging ’round
While we get more
It never ends
Pulling out our hair
Entitled brats..
This aint fair..
They send us out, while they sit, book learning
Harvesting Mats while the fields are burning!
Everything’s on fire it’s a bit concerning..
Cataloging the beasts, while the fields are burning!
Uncounted volumes
Now with us about
Greedy for more
So, they’ll send us out
