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 jokes since 1902
He does the military two-step
Down the nape of my neck
I want to 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 comin' 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
