Prompted by the shooting of a police officer on campus, the singer begins to question the mindset that he had come to share with his peers at an art school. He worries whether the tendency to see art all around him has too deeply affected his perception of reality.
Screenwriters School Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I've been feeling panicked
Still life on spinning planets
I met this girl and she's a dancer
She said "Hit me one more time"
Some student took a picture
Some lovers in the gutter
It was praised by our instructors
Something tender in the dirt
And we all went back to work
[Chorus]
It's been hard to discern
What's a dream and what's true
There's an officer down
At the screenwriters school
We got these books about film
We take these photos of food
There's an officer down
At the screenwriters school
[Verse 2]
Now I've been to dark parties
Went there with bright people
There was cameras on the carpets
Video interviews
The waiting room, some magazines
French retreats, Italian jeans
My fingernails have fallen off
But I keep flipping through
[Chorus]
It's been hard to discern
What's a dream and what's true
There's an officer down
At the screenwriters school
We got these books about film
We take these photos of food
There's an officer down
At the screenwriters school
The wheelchairs in the windows
A room with a view
There's an officer down
At the screenwriters school
In The Name Of The Father
Anatomy of a Murder
Dog Day Afternoon
I came here to make movies
Not to shoot something blue
There's an officer down
At the screenwriters school
There's an officer down

Screenwriters School was a song that we had a lot of fun creating while recording Faith In The Future.
