 I'm bored  out of my mind / Too sick  to even care
-- --
 I'll take a little walk / Nobody's going----to----know
I'm  in senior year / It gives  you a little free time
 I'll just use it all  at once!
Took the fence and the lane / The bus then the train
-- --Bm
Bought an Independent to make me look like I------got---brains
I  made a story up in my head  if anybody would ask
 I'm going to a seminar!
 I'm a  genius / I'm a  prodigy
 A demon at Maths  and Science
  ---------
 I'm up---for---a---prize
 If you gotta  grow up sometime
   (------)
 You've to do it on your own
 I don't think  I could stand to be stuck
   (--------)
 That's the way that things were going
 The bible's  my tool / There's no mention  of school!
 Cm--Bm
 My Damascan Road's my transistor rad--io
I  tune in at night when my mum  and my dad start to fight
 I put on my headphones
 And I  tune out / I am  devout
 The girls are singing about  my life
 But they're not here, they've got the  wild life
 If you want  to find out, find out
   (A--Ab--G--Gb)
 You got to look them in the eye
 That's why my only  choice
 Is find the face behind the voice...
 She asked  the man if the service  was open
 "Not  today, just the choir  from the radio"
"Couldn't  I sit in? I've come  all this way"
"Will  you bugger off, I've got work  to do!"
The  city was losing  its appeal
God  was asleep / He was back  in her village, in the fields
Oh,  if I could make sense  of it all!
 I wish  that I could sing / I'd stay in a melody  (I would float along in my everlasting song)
What  would I do to believe??
