Ever Since The Stork Came

Ever since the stork came

We've heard of scholarly pride

And passionate drive

Every since the stork came

We've held the flag at highest highs

Looked at by dishonest eyes

And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest

We preach of good ethics and the grade A - what success

Our shells are painted gold

And our minds are rendered full

Though we have not a thought of well-being

Or what is desperately the truth

Ever since the stork came

We've known to work hard all along

Then happiness comes

Ever since the stork came

No one's seen the ways we are blind

To the walls built inside

And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest

We preach of good ethics and the grade A - what success

Our shells are painted gold

And our minds are rendered full

Though we have not a thought of well-being

Or what is desperately the truth

Far away someplace where the streets lead to both fear and love

It's okay to fail and fall, there's no formula to uphold

Laws of the unruly and standards of the seemingly wise

Dissolve beneath a stereotype's demise

Our shells are painted gold

And our minds are rendered full

Though we have not a thought of well-being

Or what is desperately the truth
