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 Well, 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 You can wish because I´m not here to fool around You can wish because I´m not here to fool around
