BOYS
We're here in school today to get a perfect education,
Yes, we're going up.
We're keen to learn the rules and laws that civilization taught us
Yes, we're growing up.
Not for ourselves, B
but for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.
Our teachers say that ignorance will always drag us down,
It's like a nagging cough.
SHANTY (thrown away)
But I can say that looking back,
The most important thing I found was sagging off!
Not for the whole world.
But for
yourself were you born.
And you were...
SHANTY and BOYS
Born in Liverpool.
BOYS
Not Birmingham
Nor Edinburgh.
Not Manchester
Or Sunderland.
SHANTY
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.
BOYS
This school is good for us.
SHANTY
This school is only good for
those
Who want to learn from books.
You'll lose your sense of purpose...
BOYS
But we dare not answer back,
We're scared of teacher's looks.
Not for
ourselves,
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.
SHANTY
Not Coventry
HEADMASTER
Or Solihull.
BOYS
Not
Scarborough
SHANTY
Nor Inverness.
Being born where you were born
Carries
with it certain responsibilities.
HEADMASTER
Walk in single file out of the
classroom,
Down the stairs and into the playground.
BOYS
Through the school
gates,
Cross the road, and over the cemetery fence,
Down the hill to where the
grave-stones
Lie inviting in the sun. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
