Lyrics

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 wanna stay

Belligerent ghouls run Manchester schools Spineless bastards all Sir leads the troops Jealous of youth Same old joke 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 gym I've got this terrible cold coming on He grabs and devours He kicks me in the showers Kicks me in the showers And he grabs and devours

I want to go home I don't want to stay
