When I was young and they packed me off to school

and the taught me how not to play the game.

I didn't mind if they groomed me for success

or if they said that I was just a fool.

So I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm -

their half - assed smiles and the book of rules.

And I asked this God a question and by way of firm reply

He said - I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
