13) The School Blues

performed by Niklas Lund  Thomas & Weidinger, Henning Schütt (Lyrics by W.E.P.)

I’m telling you man, I’ve got the school blues,

I’ve got it so bad, man, I’m shakin’ in my shoes.

Tests, homework, lessons even in the afternoon,

I can’t take it no (sic) more, I’ll go mad soon.

Headmaster, caretaker, teachers,

What a bunch of crazy creatures!

If you are just a minute late,

Good old what’s-his-name is sure to meet you at the gate.

It ain’t nobody’s business when you miss a lesson or two,

But Vehman* over the intercom announces he wants to talk to you.      *Ohm’s deputy head

If you are under age and wanna smoke,

You’ve got to sneak into the toilets where you choke.

The teachers and their ”wunnerful” subjects are hard to face,

I think I’ll drop out of this stupid rat race.

All this bullshit is getting me down,

I think I’m gonna leave town.

Now you may find me at Bretterbude and other joints,

Like E-Werk or the Supol gas station,

Favourite hang-outs of the younger generation.

                         I’ve got nothing to lose,

                                      What’s there to choose?

                                      It drives you to booze,

                                      I’ve got the school blues.
