[Intro]
F#m  G  F#m  G  D
[Verse 1]
DAnthony, bullied at Aschool
Get your own Gback, now you are Dcool, or Aare you scared?
DBunking off though you're a Atoff
It's all gone wrong Gagain, you've got double Gmmaths
But the Dteacher's got no contArol
The boys will run rBmiot, you will stay qGmuiet
Or you will EmdieBb  
[Verse 2]
DTony at the back of the Agym
Smoke another Gone, your chances are Dslim
Cos hAere they come agDain
And they got you on the Aground
Tasting blood Gagain, at least it's your Gmown
[Chorus 1]
When will you Drealize that it doesn't Apay
To be smarter than Bmteachers
Smarter than Gmost boys?
Shut your Dmouth, start kicking the Afootball
Bang on the Bmteeth, you're off for a Gmweek boy
[Bridge 1]
You may as well takDe it in the guts - it Gcan't get worse
Just Dtake it in the guts - it Gcan't get worse that F#7this
'Cause you'll soon be Dold enough to Gleave them
WithEout a notion of a care
You'll Glift two finBbgers in the air to Dlinger there
[Verse 3]
DTony, you're a bit of a Amess
Melted GToblerone under your Ddress
And iAf the kids could Dsee you they would pass you right bAy
Blue Gmascara running over your Gmeye
[Chorus 2]
When will you Drealize that it doesn't Apay
To be smarter than Bmteachers
Smarter than Gmost boys?
Shut your Dmouth, start kicking the Afootball
Bang on the Bmteeth, you're off for a Gmweek boy
[Bridge 2]
They call you Lord DAnthony
But hey - it Gcould be worse than
Lord DAnthony, but hey - it Gcould be worse
Lord DAnthony, but hey - it Gkind of suits you F#7anyway
You'll soon be old enoDugh to leave tGhem
WithEout a notion of a care
You'll Glift two finBbgers in the air to Dlinger there
