A G# G#7 I'm bored out of my mind Too sick to even care C#m7 C#m7 Cm7 Bm7 I'll take a little walk Nobody's going to know Bm7 C#m7 D I'm in senior year It gives you a little free time E I'll just use it all at once! Took the fence and the lane The bus then the train Bought an Independent to make me look like I got brains I made a story up in my head if anybody would ask I'm going to a seminar! Chorus: D Dm I'm a genius I'm a prodigy A A demon at Maths and Science A G# G F# F#7 I'm up for a prize C Bm If you gotta grow up sometime A G# G F# F#7 You've to do it on your own C Bm I don't think I could stand to be stuck A E F# G G# That's the way that things were going The bible's my tool There's no mention of school! My Damascan Road's my transistor radio I tune in at night when my mum and my dad start to fight I put on my headphones Chorus: And I tune out I am devout The girls are singing about my life But they're not here, they've got the wild life If you want to find out, find out You got to look them in the eye That's why my only choice Is find the face behind the voice?

I've come all this way" G D/F# "Will you bugger off, I've got work to do!"
