[Akira The Don, Alan Watts - The Good Professor lyrics]
So, let's look at this thing
From another point of view
Which you will at first
Think highly depressing
Let's supposing we can't do
Anything to change ourselves
Suppose we're stuck with it now
That is the worst thing an
American audience can hear
There's no way of improving yourself
Because every kind of culture in this
Country is dedicated to self-improvement
Just take jogging, that deplorable practice
It's a very nice thing to run
And to go dancing across the
Hills at a fast speed but these joggers
(imitating shoes hitting pavеment)
Shaking their bones, rattling thеir brains
Running on their heels
There's a grimness about it it's
Determinately good for you
Why do you go to school?
The whole point of coming to school
Is that you're interested in something
You don't come to improve yourself
The trouble is that the schools
Got the wrong idea
They gave people honors for learning
The reward for studying French
Should be the ability
To speak French and enjoy reading French
And having fun with French people
But when you get a degree for it
Then the degree becomes the point
In a game of one-upmanship and of course
One-upmanship is the main business of
The educational community today
You learn all the rules of how
To be a good professor
How to be a good professor
From another point of view
Which you will at first
Think highly depressing
Let's supposing we can't do
Anything to change ourselves
Suppose we're stuck with it now
That is the worst thing an
American audience can hear
There's no way of improving yourself
Because every kind of culture in this
Country is dedicated to self-improvement
Just take jogging, that deplorable practice
It's a very nice thing to run
And to go dancing across the
Hills at a fast speed but these joggers
(imitating shoes hitting pavеment)
Shaking their bones, rattling thеir brains
Running on their heels
There's a grimness about it it's
Determinately good for you
Why do you go to school?
The whole point of coming to school
Is that you're interested in something
You don't come to improve yourself
The trouble is that the schools
Got the wrong idea
They gave people honors for learning
The reward for studying French
Should be the ability
To speak French and enjoy reading French
And having fun with French people
But when you get a degree for it
Then the degree becomes the point
In a game of one-upmanship and of course
One-upmanship is the main business of
The educational community today
You learn all the rules of how
To be a good professor
How to be a good professor
