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 just a fool
So I left there in the morning
With their God tucked beneath my arm
The half-assed smiles and the book of rules
And 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"
To my old headmasters and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through, I'd like to say my prayers
I don't believe you, you have the whole damn thing all wrong
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines
How'd you dare to 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
'Cause that's the honest measure of my worth
Well, in your pauperin' lowly glory
You're all a poorer man than me
As you lick the boots of death, born out of fear
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 just a fool
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines
To my old headmasters and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through, I'd like to say my prayers
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
Have all the bishops harmonize these lines
I don't believe you, you have the whole damn thing all wrong
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
