Monkey Boys

from Watchful Days by Ali George

/

lyrics

On the way to school today I broke down on the corner
The tears all down my shirt and tie
I am due to fight today with the weakest kid in school
It’s all been organised, and I’m scared I’ll lose

He’s got nothing against me
And I don’t have a single thing against him
It’s out of our hands
These monkey boys are out of their minds
We just don’t belong here
It all seems so strange and so cruel
We don’t have a choice
These monkey boys rule the school

On the way to school today I learned something about life
You’ve got to keep your head down low
You’re never gonna fit in here
These people are insane
And school is just a flawed idea

They’ve got nothing against me
In fact, I’m a good distraction
It’s out of control
These monkey boys are out of their minds
I’m partly to blame here
I shouldn’t have tried to fit in
It’s strange and it’s cruel
These monkey boys rule the school
It’s so strange and so cruel
These monkey boys rule the school
So strange and so cruel
These monkey boys rule the school
So strange and so cruel
These monkey boys rule the school
