When I'm Inspected

"When I grow up" is by Garbage

Teacher's bail out
Clean the rooms out
Like a last minute report
Panic for hours
OFSTED glowers
Check the toilets
Need cleaning out
We will fool them into thinking
We know what we're on about
Entertain them
Better impress them
Or we'll be getting sacked

When I'm inspected
I'll be stable
I can always hide
Under the table

Trying hard to
Control all you
Noisy louts from Underland
Scrub graffiti
Organise meetings
Damn the safety rules 'cause

When I'm inspected
I'll be stable
I can only hope
The students are the Ables

Counting inspectors
On my fingers
Chaos rules in Jimmé's Lab
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

When I'm inspected
I'll be stable
When it's all over
I'll be under the table
When I'm inspected
When I'm inspected
When I'm inspected
I'll be stable

Kids make offense
Vinné can't make amends
Rips his homework to shreds and lets it go
Might as well have tents
For all the bents
Who are judged and then get 'let go'

Teachers building sheds when they're 'let go'
They'll be shooting leads when they're 'let go'
They'll prob'ly be dead when they're 'let go'

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise
To freak you out
We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to
Fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle when

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Don't take offense
Can I make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Don't take offense
Can I make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
