Testo Wind-Up - Jethro Tull
Testo della canzone Wind-Up (Jethro Tull), tratta dall'album Aqualung (Special Edition)
When I was young, and they packed me off to school
And they 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"
So to my old headmaster and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through, I'd like to say my prayers
I don't believe you
You had the whole damn thing all wrong
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
How do you dare to tell me that I'm my father's son
When that was just an accident of birth?
I'd rather look around me, compose a better song
'Cause that's the honest measure of my worth
In your pomp and all your glory, you're a poorer man than me
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear, whoa
When I was young, and they packed me off to school
And 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
I left there in the morning with their God under my arm
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
When I was young, and they packed me off to school
And they 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 to my old headmaster and to anyone who cares
Before I'm through, I'd like to say my prayers
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
I don't believe you
You had the whole damn thing all wrong
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
