Tim Minchin - School Song lyrics

My mummy says I'm a miracle My daddy says I'm his special little guy I am a princess And I am a prince Mum says I'm an angel Mum says I'm an angel Mum says I'm an angel And so you think you're able To survive this mess By being a prince or a princess You will soon see there's no escaping tragedy And even if you put in heaps of effort You're just wasting energy 'Cos your life as you know it is ancient history I have suffered in this jail I've been trapped inside this cage for ages This living 'ell But if I try I can remember That before my life had ended Before my happy days were over Before I first heard the pealing of the bell Like you I was curious So innocent, I asked a thousand questions But unless you want to suffer Listen up and I will teach you a thing or two You listen here, my dear You'll be punished so severely If you step out of line And if you cry it will be double You should stay out of trouble And remember to be extremely careful Why? Why? Why? Why? Did you hear what he said? Just you wait for Phys Ed What's Phys Ed? Physical education!
