Jack Shit George lyrics

What did you learn at school today?
Jack shit
The minute the teacher turns away
That`s it
How many times were you truly intrigued?
Not any
Is boredom a symptom of mental fatigue?
Not many
When have you ever been top of the class?
Not once
What will you do when you`re out on your arse?
A dunce
What are your prospects of doing quite well?
Too small
And what will you have at the very last Bell?
Fuck all

You can`t bear another`s beauty, you can`t emulate a grace
You can`t filch another`s mystery, occupy another`s space
You can`t do another`s duty, or take a special place
In another person`s history when they`ve sunk without a trace

What`s the reward for being a berk?
A blank
Thick as a plank and looking for work
What a wank
What do you think of the Welfare State?
It`s a fake
What have they handed you on a plate?
The ache
Have you considered how lucky you are?
Well shucks
What do you think of the system so far?
It sucks
Aren`t you endowed with the patience of Job?
I wish
Don`t you feel ready to conquer the globe?
Oh fish

You can`t steal another`s thunder, you can`t fill a great divide
You can`t steer another`s fancy, you can`t change another`s side
Not undo another`s blunder nor pretend another`s pride
You can`t offer necromancy till the final hope has died

I`m a second-class person citizen-wise,
This is something I must recognise
It`s not my place to make complaint,
But am I happy? No, I ain`t
I missed my chance when I was young,
Now I live below the bottom rung
I was put on earth to discover my niche;
Oh Lord
