family tree

Lyrics

i've been feeling down, i've been looking round the town, for somebody just like me, but the only ones i see, are the dummies in the window, they spend their money on clothes, it saddens me to think, that the only ones i see are mannequins, looking stupid, being used and being thin, and i don't know why i hang around with them, the way they act, i'd rather be fat than be confused, the way they act, i'd rather be fat than be confused, than be me in a cage, with a bottle of rage, and a family like the mafia, i've been feeling blue, and i don't know what to do, and i never get a thrill, and they threw me out of school, 'cause i swore at all the teachers, because they never teach us, a thing i want to know, we do chemistry, biology and maths, i want poetry and music and some laughs, and i don't think it's an awful lot to ask, so won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go, so won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go, cause i'm here in a cage, with a bottle of rage, and a family like the mafia, if my family tree goes back to the romans, then i will change my name to jones, if my family tree goes back to napolean, then i will change my name to smith, if my family tree goes back to the romans, then i will change my name to jones, if you're looking at me to be an accountant, then you will look but you will never see, if you're looking at me to start having babies, then you can wish because i'm not here to fool around, you can wish because i'm not here to fool around, you can wish because i'm not here to fool around
