Lyrics
When I was young and they packed me off to school
And taught me how not to play the game,
I didn�t mind if they groomed me for success,
Or if they said that I was a fool.
So I left there in the morning
With their God tucked underneath my arm --
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
So I asked this God a question
And by way of firm reply,
He said -- I�m not the kind you have to wind up on
sundays.
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
Before I�m through I�d like to say my prayers --
I don�t believe you:
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --
He�s not the kind you have to wind up on sundays.
Well you can excomunicate me on my way to sunday
school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines --
How do you dare tell me that I�m my father�s son
When that was just an accident of birth.
I�d rather look around me -- compose a better song
`cos that�s the honest measure of my worth.
In your pomp and all your glory you�re a poorer man
than me,
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
I don�t believe you:
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --
He�s not the kind you have to wind up on sundays.
Notice
I did the intro and most of the next part, you get the
basic jist right?
