I hate this Gplace,
I can Cbarely keep the Dmisery off my Gface,
Yeah there's Done place i much rather Cbe,
Taking Dtransfiguration and Carithmancy,
And Ghanging with my Cfriends in the owleDry,
But Ginstead i'm learning parts of Cspeech,
And Dtrying not to fall Gasleep,
And Cavoiding the only girl in Dschool who might like Gme,
(Pause)
It's so groGtesque,
When the Cguy sitting next to me Ddrools all over his Gdesk,
And i Dalmost raise my hand to Ccomplain,
But then i Drealize i that i wanna be Cdoin' the same,
So i Gput my head down Con my desk as Dwell,
And Gsuddenly im learning a Cspell,
To Dmake my teacher's head Gswell,
But Cthen he wakes me up,
And Di can't help but Gyell,
Engorgio!!
(Pause)
This isn't Ghogwarts this is a Cconcrete Gbox,
And the Cpictures on the wall are never gonna Gtalk,
And the Cteachers don't Gcare that the Ckids don't Gtry,
And the most Cmagical thing we have is fluorescent Glights,
And they Cdon't put you in hufflepuff if you're not Dcool,
InCstead they sort you in the parking lot after Dschool,
And i Cthink if i looked into the mirror of eriDsed,
I'd be Cwearing wizard robes with gold and Dred,
I'm not Csayin' i'm not Dproud to be a Gnerd,
But public Cschool ain't no Dplace for a Gwizard
Yeah public Cschool ain't no Dplace for a Gwizard
(Pause)
Y'know whats Ggross,
When the Clunch meat looks like Dthree day old soggy Gtoast,
But as i Date it anyway i Coverheard,
This Dguy i hardly know callin' Cme a nerd,
So i Gcast "sectum sempra" on Chim inside my Dmind,
I wish there were Ghouse elves makin' my Cfood,
And Deverything was perfectly Gspiced,
And the Conly one being Drude was the Gpoltergeist,
(Pause)
And here's what's Gtrue,
I'd do Cpretty much anyDthing to go to wizard Gschool,
I'd even Dcall dolores umbridge my Cfriend,
If it Dmeant i'd never have to go to Cgym again,
But i Glook around at all of this Ccrap that's part of my Dlife,
No Gghost stalkin' the Challs,
Or Dhangin' in the bathroom Gstalls,
And the Cstairs don't move,
Cause Dthere's no stairs at Gall.
This isn't Ghogwarts this is a Cconcrete Gbox,
And the Cpictures on the wall are never gonna Gtalk,
And the Cteachers don't Gcare and the Ckids don't Gtry,
And the most Cmagical thing we have is fluorescent Glights,
And they Cdon't put you in hufflepuff if you're not Dcool,
InCstead they sort you in the parking lot after Dschool,
And i Cthink if i looked into the mirror of eriDsed,
I'd be Cwearing wizard robes with gold and Dred,
I'm not Csayin' i'm not Dproud to be a Gnerd,
But public Cschool ain't no Dplace for a Gwizard
Yeah public Cschool ain't no Dplace for a Gwizard

I hate this place,

C D G

I can barely keep the misery off my face,

D C

Yeah there's one place i much rather be,

D C

Taking transfiguration and arithmancy,

G C D

And hanging with my friends in the owlery,

G C

But instead i'm learning parts of speech,

D G

And trying not to fall asleep,

C D G

And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me,

(Pause)

It's so grotesque,

C D G

When the guy sitting next to me drools all over his desk,

D C

And i almost raise my hand to complain,

D C

But then i realize i that i wanna be doin' the same,

G C D

So i put my head down on my desk as well,

G C

And suddenly im learning a spell,

D G

To make my teacher's head swell,

But then he wakes me up,

D G

And i can't help but yell,

Engorgio!!

(Pause)

G C G

This isn't hogwarts this is a concrete box,

C G

And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,

C G C G

And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try,

C G

And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,

C D

And they don't put you in hufflepuff if you're not cool,

C D

Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,

C D

And i think if i looked into the mirror of erised,

C D

I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red,

C D G

I'm not sayin' i'm not proud to be a nerd,

C D G

But public school ain't no place for a wizard

C D G

Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard

(Pause)

Y'know whats gross,

C D G

When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast,

D C

But as i ate it anyway i overheard,

D C

This guy i hardly know callin' me a nerd,

G C D

So i cast "sectum sempra" on him inside my mind,

G C

I wish there were house elves makin' my food,

D G

And everything was perfectly spiced,

C D G

And the only one being rude was the poltergeist,

(Pause)

And here's what's true,

C D G

I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school,

D C

I'd even call dolores umbridge my friend,

D C

If it meant i'd never have to go to gym again,

G C D

But i look around at all of this crap that's part of my life,

G C

No ghost stalkin' the halls,

D G

Or hangin' in the bathroom stalls,

And the stairs don't move,

D G

Cause there's no stairs at all.

G C G

This isn't hogwarts this is a concrete box,

C G

And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,

C G C G

And the teachers don't care and the kids don't try,

C G

And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,

C D

And i think if i looked into the mirror of erised,

C D

I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red,

C D G

I'm not sayin' i'm not proud to be a nerd,

Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard
