I've been feeling down   I've been looking round the town   For somebody just like me   But the only ones I see   Are the dummies in the window   They spend their money on clothes   It saddens me to think   That the only ones I see are mannequins   Looking stupid, being used and being thin   And I don't know why I hang around with them      The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused   The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused   Than be me in a cage   With a bottle of rage   And a family like the mafia      I've been feeling blue   And I don't know what to do   And I never get a thrill   And they threw me out of school   'Cause I swore at all the teachers   Because they never teach us   A thing I want to know   We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths   I want Poetry and Music and some laughs   And I don't think it's an awful lot to ask      So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go   So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go   Cause I'm here in a cage   With a bottle of rage   And a family like the mafia      If my family tree goes back to the Romans   Then I will change my name to Jones   If my family tree goes back to Napolean   Then I will change my name to Smith   If my family tree goes back to the Romans   Then I will change my name to Jones   If you're looking at me to be an accountant   Then you will look but you will never see   If you're looking at me to start having babies   Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool around   You can wish because I'm not here to fool around   You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
