| [00:09.76] |
When I was young and they packed me off to school |
| [00:16.00] |
And they taught me how not to play the game |
| [00:24.52] |
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success |
| [00:31.30] |
Or if they said that I was just a fool. |
| [00:38.56] |
So I left there in the morning |
| [00:42.30] |
With their God tucked underneath my arm |
| [00:46.20] |
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules |
| [00:53.86] |
And I asked this God a question |
| [00:57.67] |
And by way of firm reply |
| [01:01.34] |
He said, "I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays" |
| [01:09.15] |
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares) |
| [01:16.54] |
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers |
| [01:24.90] |
I don't believe you |
| [01:27.53] |
You have the whole damn thing all wrong |
| [01:31.40] |
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays. |
| [01:38.31] |
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school |
| [01:45.62] |
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines |
| [02:05.94] |
How do you dare to tell me that I'm my Father's son? |
| [02:11.46] |
When that was just an accident of birth |
| [02:17.09] |
I'd rather look around me, compose a better song |
| [02:22.87] |
'Cos that's the honest measure of my worth |
| [02:28.57] |
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me |
| [02:34.40] |
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear |
| [02:43.90] |
When I was young and they packed me off to school |
| [02:48.81] |
And taught me how not to play the game |
| [02:55.05] |
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success |
| [03:00.32] |
Or if they said that I was just a fool |
| [03:06.56] |
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school |
| [03:12.17] |
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines |
| [03:40.63] |
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me |
| [03:46.21] |
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear |
| [04:06.53] |
When I was young and they packed me off to school |
| [04:12.12] |
And they taught me how not to play the game |
| [04:20.79] |
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success |
| [04:27.17] |
Or if they said that I was just a fool |
| [04:34.82] |
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares) |
| [04:42.46] |
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers |
| [04:49.93] |
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school |
| [04:56.94] |
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines |
| [05:05.48] |
I don't believe you |
| [05:07.97] |
You have the whole damn thing all wrong |
| [05:12.49] |
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays |
