Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school

                                                         
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it's right out of the blue

                                                          
So you went to work in Debenhams, because that’s what they expect

                                               
Start in lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor.

                                                        
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start

                                                   
For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art

                                                           
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange

                                                                          
Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in 


clay

                                                          
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you’ve got no appetite

                                                
And the rumor is you never go with boys and you are tight

                                                  
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk

                                                             
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher is looking up your skirt

                
Hey, you’re been used

                    
Are you calm? settle down

                      
Write a song, Ill sing along

                       
Soon you will know that you are sane

                          
You’re on top of the world again

Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it's right out of the blue
Do you went to work in C&A, cause that’s what they expect
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man

Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
She’s got everything to gain cause she’s a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
cause you cant afford a blazer, girl you’re always wearing clogs

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Head of English gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Do you think you’re better then the other kids? well get outside.
You’ve got permission, but you’ve got to make the bastard think he’s right

Hey, you’re been used
Write a song, Ill sing along
Are you calm? settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You’re on top of the world again
