[Chorus]
When I was young and they packed me off to school
And they taught me how not to play the game
Oh, I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
Or if they said that I was just a fool
So I left there in the morning
With their God under my arm
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
[Verse 1]
When 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 a Sunday"
And to my old headmaster, and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through, I'd like to say my prayers
[Verse 2]
Oh, I don't believe you
You had the whole damn thing all wrong
And he's not the kind you have to wind up on a Sunday
Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[Bridge]
How do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
When that was just an accident of Birth?
Oh, I'd rather look around me, compose a better song
'Cause 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
[Chorus]
When I was young and they packed me off to school
And they taught me how not to play the game
Oh, I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
Or if they said that I was just a fool
So I left there in the morning
With their God under my arm
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
[Verse 3]
Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[Chorus]
When I was young and they packed me off to school
And they taught me how not to play the game
Oh, I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
Or if they said that I was just a fool
And so to my old headmaster, and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through, I'd like to say my prayers
[Verse 4]
And you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[Outro]
I don't believe you
You had the whole damn thing all wrong
And he's not the kind you have to wind up on a Sunday
