The Headmaster Ritual Songtext
von Johnny Marr

Belligerent ghouls
Rub Manchester schools
Spineless swines
Cemented minds
Sir leads the troops
Jealous of youth
Some old suit since 1962
He does the military two-steps
Down the nape of my neck
I wanna go home I don′t want to stay
Give up education
As a bad mistake
Mi-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 want to stay.

Belligerent ghouls...


I wanna go home
I don ′t want to stay
Give up life
As a bad mistake
Please ezcuse me from the gym
I've got this terrible cold coning on
He grabs and devours
Kicks in the showers
And the grabs and devours
I wanna go home
I don't want to stay
