The Smiths - The Headmaster Ritual [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Belligerent ghouls
Run Manchester schools

[Verse 2]
Spineless swines
Cemented minds

[Refrain]
Sir leads the troops
Jealous of youth
Same old suit since 1962
He does the military two-step
Down the nape of my neck

[Chorus]
I want to go home
I don't want to stay

[Verse 3]
Give up education
As a bad mistake
Mid-week on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees
Knees you in the groin
Elbow in the face
Bruises bigger than dinner plates

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

[Refrain]

[Break]

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Give up life
As a bad mistake
Please excuse me from gym
I've got this terrible cold coming on
He grabs and devours
He kicks me in the showers
Kicks me in the showers
And he grabs and devours

[Chorus]
