lyrics

The boy who refused to stand,
He never ever made a friend that was worth having,
No none at all.

The boy who refused to stand
he never ever made a friend that was worth having
No one at all

The lockers hide the secrets
Manifested in dirty PE kits,
Rife with the smell of parental failure

An ugly mother means an ugly child
Not the other way around
No not the other way around

So when the furer rises from his desk
And raises his hand to his chest,
It is a strong and dangerous hand,

He had though about about it logically
He has thought about it constantly
And so The boy refuses to stand

The boy who refused to stand
Has never said a thing that was worth saying,
Not a single word

The boy who refused to stand
Has never said said a thing that was worth saying
He’s better off unheard

He’s Wiley and unseemly
He will amount to approximately
Nothing

Detention for his spotty face
The classrooms are no place
For his stints of insolence

We have tried begging and barking
But he it always ends with him starting
Up again about the troubles of our land

We wont listen to his voice,
Because we have given him a choice
And still the boy refuses to stand

The boy who refused to stand
He’s never had a dream that was legitimate
He’s a degenerate

The boy who refused to stand
Has never had a dream that was legitimate
And we are sick of it
