[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
