[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]When I was young and they packed me off to school
[04:44.07]And they taught me how not to play the game
[04:53.71]I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
[05:00.92]Or if they said that I was just a fool
[05:09.16]So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares)
[05:17.44]Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers
[05:24.43]Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
[05:31.66]Have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[05:42.73]I don't believe you
[05:46.48]You have the whole damn thing all wrong
[05:51.60]He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
