[00:10.96] When I was young and they packed me off to school [00:18.93] And taught me how not to play the game [00:28.01] I didn't mind if they groomed me for success [00:36.15] Or if they said that I was just a fool. [00:44.24] So I left there in the morning [00:47.88] With their God tucked underneath my arm [00:52.45] Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules [01:00.59] And I asked this God a question [01:04.12] And by way of firm reply [01:08.68] He said, "I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays" [01:16.83] So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares) [01:24.98] Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers [01:33.05] I don't believe you [01:36.63] You had the whole damn thing all wrong [01:40.27] He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays. [01:47.57] Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school [01:54.75] And have all the bishops harmonize these lines [02:17.36] How do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son? [02:22.77] When that was just an accident of birth [02:29.96] I'd rather look around me, compose a better song [02:35.36] 'Cos that's the honest measure of my worth [02:41.62] In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me [02:48.99] As you lick the boots of death born out of fear [03:00.63] When I was young and they packed me off to school [03:05.15] And taught me how not to play the game [03:12.34] I didn't mind if they groomed me for success [03:18.88] Or if they said that I was just a fool [03:25.13] I left there in the morning [03:28.72] With their God under my arm [03:32.34] Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules [04:03.90] Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school [04:10.28] Have all the bishops harmonize these lines [04:37.37] When I was young and they packed me off to school [04:44.12] And they taught me how not to play the game [04:53.14] I didn't mind if they groomed me for success [05:01.23] Or if they said that I was just a fool [05:08.51] So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares) [05:15.79] Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers [05:22.91] Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school [05:29.83] And have all the bishops harmonize these lines [05:40.67] I don't believe you [05:44.95] You had the whole damn thing all wrong [05:50.42] He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays [05:57.52]
