THE SMITHS lyrics - The Headmaster Ritual

Belligerent ghouls

run Manchester schools

spineless swines

cemented minds

Sir leads the troops

jealous of youth

same old suit since 1962

he does the military two-step

down the nape of my neck

I wanna go home

I don't want to stay

give up education

as a bad mistake

mid-week on the playing fields

Sir thwacks you on the knees

knees you in the groin

elbow in the face

bruises bigger than dinner plates

I wanna go home

I don't want to stay



Belligerent ghouls

run Manchester schools

spineless bastards all

Sir leads the troops

jealous of youth

same old jokes since 1902

he does the military two-step

down the nape of my neck

I wanna go home

I don't want to stay

give up life

as a bad mistake

please excuse me from the gym

I've got this terrible cold coming on

he grabs and devours

kicks me in the showers

and he grabs and devours

I wanna go home

I don't want to stay
