Jethro Tull - Wind Up(1996)

[00:10.96] When I was young and they packed me off to school
[00:18.93] And taught me how not to play the game
[00:28.01] I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
[00:36.15] Or if they said that I was just a fool.
[00:44.24] So I left there in the morning
[00:47.88] With their God tucked underneath my arm
[00:52.45] Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
[01:00.59] And I asked this God a question
[01:04.12] And by way of firm reply
[01:08.68] He said, "I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays"
[01:16.83] So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares)
[01:24.98] Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers
[01:33.05] I don't believe you
[01:36.63] You had the whole damn thing all wrong
[01:40.27] He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
[01:47.57] Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
[01:54.75] And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[02:17.36] How do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son?
[02:22.77] When that was just an accident of birth
[02:29.96] I'd rather look around me, compose a better song
[02:35.36] 'Cos that's the honest measure of my worth
[02:41.62] In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me
[02:48.99] As you lick the boots of death born out of fear
[03:00.63] When I was young and they packed me off to school
[03:05.15] And taught me how not to play the game
[03:12.34] I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
[03:18.88] Or if they said that I was just a fool
[03:25.13] I left there in the morning
[03:28.72] With their God under my arm
[03:32.34] Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
[04:03.90] Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
[04:10.28] Have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[04:37.37] When I was young and they packed me off to school
[04:44.12] And they taught me how not to play the game
[04:53.14] I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
[05:01.23] Or if they said that I was just a fool
[05:08.51] So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares)
[05:15.79] Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers
[05:22.91] Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
[05:29.83] And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[05:40.67] I don't believe you
[05:44.95] You had the whole damn thing all wrong
[05:50.42] He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
