It's another world we live in here so radical and clean 
Every Saturday we protest things out on the campus green 
And we came from far to find this place where hearts and minds are free 
And we walk together on the grass in peaceful anarchy 

Where the things we've amassed are undeniably surpassed 
By the value of our goals and how high we can reach 
So when no one can pass Professor Leon Siegel's class 
It's okay because we still absorb the great things he can teach 

We send our greetings from the terrarium 
That earthy college paradise where kids can work and play 
But you know that when we leave from this terrarium 
We're told that we are going to save the world someday 

It's another world we live in 'midst the placid greenery 
We can talk about disaster and admire the scenery 
When we cannot find an answer to our Nicaraguan war 
We can order out for pizza and deliver it some more 

But while nothing much gets done and what we do just looks like fun 
You must remember what we do is more important than it sounds 
For when a case is well done in Constitution 101 
We know that bigger trials are possible to win on bigger grounds 

We extend our greetings from the terrarium 
That earthy college paradise where kids can work and play 
But you know that when we leave from this terrarium 
We're told that we are going to save the world someday 

There's a fear that you will sell your dreams for stock and cut your hair 
As you throw your graduation cap up in the real world air 
Then you see a man in uniform approaching your best friend 
As he shakes the woman's hand he says "We need a few good men" 

And it really breaks your heart to know she majored in Greek art 
And now your pacifistic friend asks for his card just like a queen 
Yeah, but then you'll watch her smile and start to shred that little card apart 
And the small white pieces flutter down like doves upon the green 

We still get greetings from the terrarium 
That earthy college paradise that we all loved and ran 
And you know that now that we're gone from the terrarium 
We may not save the world but we know that we'll do the best we can
