you'll run to the gate but you'll be marked late it’s for your own good, it’s for your own good you’re likely to make the grandest mistakes you suffer alone in the skin and the bone let’s sharpen those new sets of arrows for the next generation of playground martyrs and join in the game of intolerable shame ‘cos everyone shares in the sins of their fathers school bell rings single-file in trade you my unhappily-ever afters so bring out those things to hammer the wings of the next generation of playground martyrs
