The Headmaster Ritual

The Smiths

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 wanna 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 

Da-da-da ... 

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 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...

Da-da-da ...
