C7                     Am                                C7
Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school

C7                        Am                                 C7
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it's right out of the blue

C7                     Am                                     C7
So you went to work in Debenhams, because that’s what they expect

C7                      C                         G
Start in lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor.

C7                          Am                              C7
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start

C7                      Am                             C7
For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art

C7                      Am                                     C7
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange

C7                      C                                                    
Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in 

G
clay

C7                          Am                                C7
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you’ve got no appetite

C7                   Am                             C7
And the rumor is you never go with boys and you are tight

C7                     Am                             C7
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk

C7                         C                                    G
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher is looking up your skirt

C                G
Hey, you’re been used

C                    G
Are you calm? settle down

C                      G
Write a song, Ill sing along

G                       C7
Soon you will know that you are sane

          Am          C      C7
You’re on top of the world again

Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it's right out of the blue
Do you went to work in C&A, cause that’s what they expect
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man

Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
She’s got everything to gain cause she’s a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
cause you cant afford a blazer, girl you’re always wearing clogs

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Head of English gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Do you think you’re better then the other kids? well get outside.
You’ve got permission, but you’ve got to make the bastard think he’s right

Hey, you’re been used
Write a song, Ill sing along
Are you calm? settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You’re on top of the world again
