Wind Up (Quad Version) - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]
When I was young and they packed me off to school[00:00:09]
And taught me how not to play the game [00:00:16]
I didnt mind if they groomed me for success [00:00:24]
Or if they said that I was a fool [00:00:31]
So I left there in the morning[00:00:38]
With their God tucked underneath my arm --[00:00:42]
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules [00:00:46]
So I asked this God a question[00:00:54]
And by way of firm reply [00:00:57]
He said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on sundays [00:01:01]
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):[00:01:09]
Before I'm through Id like to say my prayers --[00:01:16]
I don't believe you:[00:01:24]
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --[00:01:27]
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on sundays [00:01:31]
Well you can excomunicate me on my way to sunday school[00:01:38]
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines --[00:01:45]
How do you dare tell me that I'm my fathers son[00:02:06]
When that was just an accident of birth [00:02:11]
Id rather look around me -- compose a better song[00:02:14]
'cos thats the honest measure of my worth [00:02:23]
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me [00:02:29]
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear [00:02:34]
I don't believe you:[00:02:45]
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --[00:02:46]
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on sundays [00:02:49]
Id rather look around me -- compose a better song[00:02:58]
'cos thats the honest measure of my worth [00:03:01]
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me [00:03:05]
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear [00:03:10]
I don't believe you:[00:03:14]
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --[00:03:15]
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on sundays[00:03:18]
