Herd Black & Blue
Ooohh, what did you mean when you said that I,
Oo-ooaahh I could be, be anyone? (x3)
I don't wanna go today,
I don't care for the punishment your teaching me
your methods are not reaching me
ill disappear
this place is gone for me (x3)
if you say it enough times
ill start to believe it
that I don't wanna learn and that,
you don't wanna learn either
the reasons for my silence
you say I'm a problem because I'm defiant
but I'm not lying that you're not trying
if I wasn't the class clown I might be crying
I can see clear that the systems dying
but I haven't learnt the words yet to define it
but yes so fine ill step in line
and write I'm a distraction 500 times
people know that my minds the real weapon
cant see past my staunch expression
(I don't wanna go today,
I don't care for the punishment your teaching me
your methods are not reaching me
ill disappear
this place is gone for me
Ooohh, what did you mean when you said that I,
Oo-ooaahh I could be, be anyone?
This place is wrong for me,
am I the only one?
This place is dark for me,
something has gone astray
I shout out loud but no one hears me)
[These three verses are layered over one another]
the be all and end all
well that's what they'll tell you
the cracks so wide weren't that many fell through
you don't need the school to sell you
but it'll be propped up by the all boys club
get a bit of big business love
the uniform doesn't need to be cut
it doesn't matter who your dad goes to the gym with
or the person that your mum gets with the face lift
all of the private tuition won't help the one that
won't listen
no one can buy the rights to wisdom
you retain control over the ignition
(Ooohh, what did you mean when you said that I,
Oo-ooaahh I could be, be anyone?
This place is wrong for me,
am I the only one?
This place is dark for me,
something has gone astray
I shout out loud but no one hears me
I don't wanna go today,
I don't care for the punishment your teaching me
your methods are not reaching me
ill disappear
this place is gone for me)
