(Riff 1)
[Verse]
Belligerent ghouls
Run Manchester schools
Spineless swines
Riff 1
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
[Chorus]
(Riff 2)
I wanna go home
I don t wanna stay
Give up education
As a bad mistake
(Riff 2)
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 here
