lyrics

Humanistic crisis
Do we have an English major in the house?
Someone to shake the subtext out
For what is left unspoken
Should not be left misunderstood
Now, devotion, if you would

The world's a stage
And I was born to play this part
Step aside
I'm the bachelor of arts
Here on the page
Are the words that wake your heart
What's my name?
I'm the bachelor of arts

In the halls of power
In the corridors of state
The highest towers
Forces work to seal your fate
But fate is yet unwritten
And I'm the one who's read the books
On a mission
To bring you back the things they took

A different age awaits its chance to start
Step right up
For the bachelor of arts
You turn the page
And I appear to steal your heart
Here I come
I'm the bachelor of arts
