SUBMITTED BY: DAVID JONES
DWhen I was yoEm7ung and they packeDd me off to scF#hool
AnGd taught me how noDt to play the gaAsus4me, Asus2 A A
DI didn't mindEm7 if they groomedD me for succeF#ss,
GOr if they said Dthat I was a fooAsus4l. Asus2 A A
DSo I left there in the mEm7orning
DWith their God tucked F#underneath my arm --
GTheir half-assed smilDes and the book ofAsus4 rulesAsus2. A A
DSo I asked thEm7is God a question
DAnd by way of firm replF#y,
GHe said -- I'm not the kind Dyou have to wind uAsus4p on SAsus2undaysA.
DSo to my old heEm7admaster (andD to anyone whoF# cares):
GBefore I'm through I'd like Dto say my prayers Asus4-- Asus2 A
DI don't belieEm7ve you:
DYou had the whole damnF# thing all wrong --
GHe's not the kind you hDave to wind up on Asus4SundayAsus2s. A
GWell you caAn excomMunicatDe me on mBmy way to GSunday school
GAnd have all the bisAhops harmonize theseBm lines --
BmHow do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
GWhen that was jusDt an accident F#of Birth.
BmI'd rather look around me -- compose a better song
G`cos that's the Dhonest measure oF#f my worth.
BmIn your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
GAs you lick the boDots of death borF#n out of fear.
BmWhen I was young and they packed me off to school
AnGd taught me how Dnot to play the F#game,
BmI didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
GOr if they said tDhat I was a foF#ol.
BmSo I left there in the morning
BmWith their God tucked underneath my arm --
GTheir half-asseDd smiles and the book of ruleF#s.
GWell you caAn excommunicate Dme on my Bmway to SuGnday school
GAnd have all the bisAhops harmonize theBmse lines --
DWhen I was Em7young and theDy packed me off to sF#chool
AGnd taught me how nDot to play the gAsus4ame, Asus2 A A
DI didn't mindEm7 if they groDomed me for succesF#s,
GOr if they said Dthat I was a fooAsus4l. Asus2 A A
DSo to my olEm7d headmasteDr (and to anyone wF#ho cares):
BGefore I'm through DI'd like to say Asus4my praAsus2yers -A- A
GWell you caAn excomMunicate meD on my waBmy to SuGnday school
GAnd have all theA bishops harmonize tBmhese lines --
DI don't belieEm7ve you:
DYou had the whole damnF# thing all wrong --
GHe's not the kDind you have to Asus4wind uAsus2p on SAunAdays.
