Lord Anthony |
Anthony, bullied at school |
Get your own back, now you are cool |
Or are you scared? |
Bunking off though you’re a toff |
It’s all gone wrong again, you’ve got double maths |
And the teacher’s got no control |
The boys will run riot, you will stay quiet |
Or you will die |
Tony at the back of the gym |
Smoke another one, your chances are slim |
'Cos here they come again |
And they got you on the ground |
Tasting blood again, at least it’s your own |
When will you realise it doesn’t pay |
To be smarter than teachers |
Smarter than most boys? |
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football |
Bang on the teeth, you’re off for a week boy |
You may as well take it in the guts — it can’t get worse |
Take it in the guts — it can’t get worse that this |
Cause you’ll soon be old enough to leave them |
Without a notion of a care |
You’ll lift two fingers in the air to linger there |
Tony, you’re a bit of a mess |
Melted Toblerone under your dress |
If the boys could see you they would pass you right by |
Blue mascara running over your eye |
When will you realize it doesn’t pay |
To be smarter than teachers |
Smarter than most boys? |
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football |
Bang on the teeth, you’re off for a week boy |
(Anthony it could be worse, Anthony it could be worse) |
They call you Lord Anthony |
But hey, it could be worse than (Anthony it could be worse) |
Lord Anthony |
But hey, it could be worse (Anthony it could be worse) |
Lord Anthony |
But hey, it kind of suits you anyway (Anthony it kind of suits you) |
You’ll soon be old enough to leave them |
Without a notion of a care |
You’ll lift two fingers in the air to linger there |
