Family Tree — текст песни (belle and sebastian)

I`ve been feeling down
I`ve been looking round the town
For somebody just like me
But the only ones I see
Are the dummies in the window
They spend their money on clothes
It saddens me to think
That the only ones I see are mannequins
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
And I don`t know why I hang around with them

The way they act, I`d rather be fat than be confused
The way they act, I`d rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia

I`ve been feeling blue
And I don`t know what to do
And I never get a thrill
And they threw me out of school
`Cause I swore at all the teachers
Because they never teach us
A thing I want to know
We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths
I want Poetry and Music and some laughs
And I don`t think it`s an awful lot to ask

So won`t you please get up off your knees, and let me go
So won`t you please get up off your knees, and let me go
Cause I`m here in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia

If my family tree goes back to the Romans
Then I will change my name to Jones
If my family tree goes back to Napolean
Then I will change my name to Smith
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
Then I will change my name to Jones
If you`re looking at me to be an accountant
Then you will look but you will never see
If you`re looking at me to start having babies
Then you can wish because I`m not here to fool around
You can wish because I`m not here to fool around
You can wish because I`m not here to fool around
