Pants

from Life Is Unnecessary by Nora Nygard

The Portal exclusive

lyrics

it's a thing for school
so I remember answers
jump in the pool
and take off all my pantsers

let us remember the colleges
universities
and ways to pay for lips
and types of scholarships

BSC, U of Mary and UT Tech in Bismarck
NDSU in Fargo
UND Grand Forks
"C"s are 2, "U"s are 4
buy the butts off porks

you can pay it by a job
parents, savings, or
listen to Uncle Scary
join the military
you can get a loan
and pay all that back
or instead of buying pork
buy a rack

grants are based on income
so if you're really rich
and your parents hate you
go get a scholarship
which are awarded
based on achievement
so don't let the man
shove you down into the pavement

you can get em by being
academic or athletic
but not being just
stupid and pathetic
get em for education,
theater, journalism
but the best in the nation
get em for music

there's on the job training
apprenticeship programs
now the clouds are raining
Jesus loves you
vocational technical school
yo yo yo learn a special skill fool
trade fool
college degrees

two-three associate's
four-five is bachelor's
seven-ten doctorate
five to seven master's
first-professional seven to ten
college
seven to ten
college
seven to ten
college

I've always been searching. Drumming in punk bands. Singing into a cassette mic alone. Trans angst, alienation, going on the road. Synthesis, tape, poetry. Two failed tours, two failed degrees. Reclaiming my voice from the choir, reshaping my voice after punk rock. Years of isolation, hormone therapy, production studies, and hundreds of releases with various projects. ... more
