Lyrics for Jack Shit George by Ian Dury And The Blockheads:
| | | Artist: | Ian Dury And The Blockheads |

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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
