The Young Philosopher
She would memorize the page
A little advanced for her age
She was disciplined determined
And she got straight a's
The young philosopher
She was
The young philosopher
She wouldn't follow all the trends
Go along with her friends
She called them philistines barbaric
In her journals now and then
The young philosopher
She was
The young philosopher
Mother thought her mad
Father didn't think that it was too bad
Her sisters mocked her so
Athens 399 BC
Is where she'd go
She read Kant, Rousseau, and Hume
From the comfort of her room
The catagorical imperative
She learned that out of school
The young philosopher
She was
The young philosopher
Karl Marx fired a shot
Through little Annies heart
Such brazen concepts she thought
So she moved on to Descartes
The young philosopher
The young philosopher
Her uncles were concerned
The preacher he recommended all the books be burned
Her teacher said take it slow
So Germany 1875
Is where she'd go
Well high school was a breeze
Then a bachelors degree
She got her masters from Vassar
Harvard pledged her PHD
The young philosopher
She was
The young philosopher
Well read and well spoken
Claimed the system nearly broken
She wrote a treatise called The Cure
She thought it'd sell for sure
The young philosopher
The times gave her a star
The pundits they claimed she'd gone to far
Her publisher said no
Gonna have to let you go
The young philosopher
The names on the dusty books
Are names of the ones who were once misunderstood
Time is her only friend
It'll be her you see
That's laughing in the end
You should have believed in the young philosopher
You should read the young philosopher
A little advanced for her age
She was disciplined determined
And she got straight a's
The young philosopher
She was
The young philosopher
She wouldn't follow all the trends
Go along with her friends
She called them philistines barbaric
In her journals now and then
The young philosopher
She was
The young philosopher
Mother thought her mad
Father didn't think that it was too bad
