About Reina del Cid:
Reina del Cid is a singer songwriter and leader of the eponymous folk rock band based in Minnesota. Her song-a-week video series, Sunday Mornings with Reina del Cid, has amassed a devoted and diverse following made up of everyone from jamheads to college students to white-haired intelligentsia. In 2011 she began collaborating with Toni Lindgren, who is the lead guitarist on all three of Del Cid’s albums, as well as a frequent and much beloved guest on the Sunday Morning videos. The Sunday Morning videos also feature a rotating cast of bandmates, special guests, and occasional random bystanders.

Lyrics:
Did you read it in a magazine
while you were sitting on a plane?
Something 'bout St. Augustine
or the life of Charlamagne
That one king who went insane
you forgot his name
But you're a regular sponge
you just soak it all up
always been that way

Did you see a documentary
can't keep it to yourself
Now you're an expert in geology
and life in prison cells
What a burden to know everything
but you manage it so well
'cause if there's a secret life
behind those dull brown eyes
then we never could tell

So you skimmed a little Hemmingway
for your senior English class
and the specifics sorta slipped away
but you got enough to be an ass
No you never had to work that hard
to be a C plus star
so that in 15 years
you could talk fine beer
what a card you are

Have your friends all missed the point somehow
working hard on their degrees?
I mean you're basically a doctor now
because of WebMD
And when the ivory tower crumbles down
no one will be more pleased
'cause where it used to stand
will be the common man
and his magazines

Did you read it in a magazine?
Mmm
Something 'bout the byzantines...
Mmm
You can't remember everything
but you're a regular sponge
such a brilliant one
always been that way
