Ohh, what did you mean when you said that I, ohhh, I could be, be anyone
Ohh, what did you mean when you said that I, ohhh, I could be, be anyone
Ohh, what did you mean when you said that I, ohhh, I could be, be anyone

I don't wanna go today, I don't care
Ohh the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me

I don't wanna go today, I don't care
Ohh the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me

I don't wanna go today, I don't care
Ohh the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me

If you say it enough times
I'll start to believe it
That I don't wanna learn
And you don't wanna learn either
The reasons for my silence
You say I'm a problem because I'm defiant
But I'm not lying that you're not trying
If I wasn't the class clown I might be crying
I can see clear that the systems dying
But I haven't learnt the words yet to define it
But yes so fine I'll step in line
And write I'm a distraction 500 times
People know that my minds the real weapon
Can't see past my staunch expression
I don't wanna go today
I don't care for the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me

I don't wanna go today, I don't care (Ooohh, what did you mean when you said that I,)
Ohh the punishment you're teaching me (Oo-ooaahh I could be, be anyone?)
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me

This place is wrong for me
Am I the only one?
This place is dark for me
Something has gone astray
I shout out loud but no one hears me

[Previous three verses sung layered over one another]
The be all and end all
Well that's what they'll tell you
The cracks so wide weren't that many fell through
You don't need the school to sell you
But it'll be propped up by the all boys club
Get a bit of big business love
The uniform doesn't need to be cut
It doesn't matter who your dad goes to the gym with
Or the person that your mum gets with the face lift
All of the private tuition won't help the one that won't listen
No one can buy the rights to wisdom
You retain control over the ignition
Ooohh, what did you mean when you said that I
Oo-ooaahh I could be, be anyone?
Ooohh, what did you mean when you said that I
Oo-ooaahh I could be, be anyone?

This place is wrong for me
Am I the only one?
This place is dark for me
Something has gone astray
I shout out loud but no one hears me

This place is wrong for me
Am I the only one?
This place is dark for me
Something has gone astray
I shout out loud but no one hears me

I don't wanna go today
I don't care for the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me

I don't wanna go today, I don't care
Ohh the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me
I don't wanna go today, I don't care
Ohh the punishment you're teaching me
Your methods are not reaching me
I'll disappear
This place is gone for me
