it returns to the guitar riff, and, then, goes to the chant:
A B E c#m
Beligerant ghouls run Manchester schools
[Amaj7] spineless swines[B], cemented minds [E]
Sir leads the tr[B]oops, jealous of youth
Amaj7 E c#m
same old suit since 1962
[B] he does the military two-step
Ab c#m7/9 B
down the nape of my neck i wanna go home
[G#m] i don't want to stay [Amaj7]
[F#/G] give up educatio[Emaj7/9]n as a bad mista[Amaj7]ke [Ab] [A]
