Calvin College is a liberal arts college located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded in 1876, Calvin College is an educational institution of the Christian Reformed Church and stands in the Reformed tradition of Protestantism. Calvin College is named after John Calvin, the 16th century Protestant Reformer.
The Christian Reformed Church in North America founded the school on August 4, 1876, as part of Calvin College and Theological Seminary (with the seminary becoming Calvin Theological Seminary) to train church ministers. It began with seven students enrolled in the first year. The original location was Spring Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The initial six-year curriculum included four years of literary studies and two years of theology. In 1892, the campus was moved to the intersection of Madison Avenue and Franklin Street (Fifth Avenue) in Grand Rapids. In September 1894, the school expanded the curriculum for those who were not pre-theological students, making the institution in effect a preparatory school. In 1900, the curriculum further broadened, making it more attractive to students interested in teaching or preparing for preprofessional courses at universities. A year later Calvin admitted the first women to the school.
[Intro Instrumental]
[Intro]
It's Calvin Coolidge.
Sawyer on the beat.
[Chorus]
It goes on and on, we're doing this 'til the day we're gone, and if I die then play this song, and put me up where I belong.
It goes on and on, we're doing this 'til the day we're gone, and if I die then play this song, and put me up where I belong.
[Verse 1]
We made it, it's been a long time 'comin.
Cops on my ass, been a long time 'runnin.
Thinking 'bout the past and we're all like "fuck it", 'coz we'll never get it back so it all means nothing.
I know we're I've been.
I don't know where I'm headed.
Don't know where this all ends, but I know I won't regret it.
Everything you say means nothing to me.
All we ever had was a blunt and a dream.
And it's okay if that dream gets dumped, 'coz shit, atleast I still got my blunt.
I'll never get the chance to do it again, so I keep my family and keep my friends.
And if they'd been here from the start, even better, they'll be here when it ends.
[Chorus]
It goes on and on, we're doing this 'til the day we're gone, and if I die then play this song, and put me up where I belong.
It goes on and on, we're doing this 'til the day we're gone, and if I die then play this song, and put me up where I belong.
[Verse 2]
They say life is what you make it, but I say life is how you take it.
I'd rather change my situation, than to waste all my time 'complainin.
I swear, I'm dieing for the life and it kills me inside.
Ironic 'coz your dream is what keeps me alive.
We're just 'strivin to find the part we play.
But, at times like these it's hard to say.
Destined to see how far we go.
It's nothing to you, but it's all we know.
So stand in the way of the dream of the team, and I'll swear you'll see how hard we go.
To be perfectly honest, I don't plan on finishing college.
I only got one shot, in my rifle's cot, from a rifle's spot right at the top.
[Chorus]
It goes on and on, we're doing this 'til the day we're gone, and if I die then play this song, and put me up where I belong.
It goes on and on, we're doing this 'til the day we're gone, and if I die then play this song, and put me up where I belong.
