D A Anthony, bullied at school G D A Get your own back, now you are cool, or are you scared? D A Bunking off though you're a toff G Gm It's all gone wrong again, you've got double maths D A But the teacher's got no control Bm Gm The boys will run riot, you will stay quiet Em A# Or you will die D A Tony at the back of the gym G D Smoke another one, your chances are slim A D Cos here they come again A And they got you on the ground G Gm Tasting blood again, at least it's your own Chorus: D A When will you realize that it doesn't pay Bm To be smarter than teachers G Smarter than most boys? D A Shut your mouth, start kicking the football Bm Gm Bang on the teeth, you're off for a week boy You may as well take it in the guts - it can't get worse Take it in the guts - it can't get worse that this Cause you'll soon be old enough to leave them Without a notion of a care You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there Tony, you're a bit of a mess Melted Toblerone under your dress If the boys could see you they would pass you right by Blue mascara running over your eye Chorus: When will you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers Smarter than most boys?
