| [00:11.02] |
When I was young and they packed me off to school |
| [00:19.09] |
And they taught me how not to play the game |
| [00:28.67] |
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success |
| [00:35.25] |
Or if they said that I was just a fool. |
| [00:44.22] |
So I left there in the morning |
| [00:48.06] |
With their God tucked underneath my arm |
| [00:52.40] |
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules |
| [01:00.50] |
And I asked this God a question |
| [01:04.30] |
And by way of firm reply |
| [01:08.12] |
He said, "I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays" |
| [01:16.97] |
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares) |
| [01:25.02] |
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers |
| [01:33.75] |
I don't believe you |
| [01:36.44] |
You have the whole damn thing all wrong |
| [01:40.65] |
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays. |
| [01:47.80] |
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school |
| [01:55.51] |
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines |
| [02:17.55] |
How do you dare to tell me that I'm my Father's son? |
| [02:23.49] |
When that was just an accident of birth |
| [02:30.05] |
I'd rather look around me, compose a better song |
| [02:36.44] |
'Cos that's the honest measure of my worth |
| [02:42.90] |
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me |
| [02:49.38] |
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear |
| [03:00.26] |
When I was young and they packed me off to school |
| [03:05.35] |
And taught me how not to play the game |
| [03:12.45] |
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success |
| [03:18.84] |
Or if they said that I was just a fool |
| [03:25.43] |
I left there in the morning |
| [03:28.42] |
With their God under my arm |
| [03:32.01] |
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules |
| [04:04.15] |
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school |
| [04:10.84] |
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines |
| [04:37.42] |
