(Mission of Burma original w/ Stipe's variation below. R.E.M. performed this song often during the Green Tour, and (a studio version to their fan club on the 1989 Christmas 7" vinyl single)
Walk into my room
Ask me jerky questions
Don't mean what you say
Immaculate Conception
Play by the rules
So close to the chest, chest
Show that all's not lost
This is not a test.
Stay just as far from me as me from you.
Make sure that you are sure of everything I do.
'Cause I'm not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Your academy
The halls are like piss
The rooms are underlit
Still it must be nice
Such a perfect fit, fit
What's that I hear?
The sound of marching feet
It has a strange alure,
Has a strange alure
Stay just as far from me as me from you.
Make sure that you are sure of everything I do.
'Cause I'm not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Your academy
Your academy
Maybe you're right,
I shouldn't judge
What's wrong or right,
It's all too much
I'm not judging you,
I'm judging me.
My academy.
Your academy
My academy.
Your academy
R.E.M. è stata una band rock americana formatasi ad Athens, in Georgia, nel 1980. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti nella formazione dell'alternative rock e dell'indie, R.E.M. sono diventati uno dei gruppi rock più grandi al mondo nei primi anni '90. Inizialmente hanno attirato un seguito underground, ma la loro popolarità è poi sbocciata in un successo mainstream, passando da locali affollati a stadi sportivi e festival durante una carriera che ha attraversato tre decenni. Il gruppo era composto da Michael Stipe (voce), Peter Buck (chitarra), Mike Mills (basso) e Bill Berry (batteria). R.E.M. è nota per il suo sound caratteristico, un mix di melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e arrangiamenti sperimentali. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Losing My Religion", "Everybody Hurts", "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" e "The One I Love". Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "Automatic for the People" (1992) e "Monster" (1994).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
