Neville was not very clever
Neville had velcro fasteners
The teachers liked to fasten people's mouths up
Neville thought that books were dangerous
Neville liked the Galaxy Rangers
They liked to shorten people's range
Would you like to paint
Would you like to play with toys

Don't be a toy of the system
You wanna learn to stick up for yourself

Teachers knew the school was crumbling
Governors sat in meetings mumbling
"We'll do anything to help unless it costs"
Neville spent his schooldays playing
Neville had some yellow crayons
He liked to stick them up his nose
Now do you suppose
That's what happened to his life

Don't be a toy of the system, Neville
You wanna learn to stick up for yourself boy
Don't let the system piss you about
You wanna learn to take control of your life

Go on Neville and sue the buggers
That'll teach them to teach you nothing
You gotta learn to do something about it fast
Neville's parents, what are you doing?
Eating chips and blindly screwing
Don't you care, you "husband" and "wife"
Now Neville's life is tumbling down the pan

Don't be a toy of the system, Neville
You wanna learn to stick up for yourself boy
Don't let the system piss you about
You wanna learn to take control of your life
