[Verse 1]
Please and thank you is all I've ever been told to say
Yes sir, no sir, manners, sit up straight
You can't tell me that I'm not anything
But then you stop me in my tracks and prove that I'm nothing

[Chorus]
Authority's gonna kill me
Purity used to rule me

[Verse 2]
Wise man tell me, "Boy you better just stay in school,"
But how can they judge, to a wise man, I'm a fool
Overwhelming thoughts provoke me throughout the day
Heaven's gates please open I don't have much else to say

[Chorus]
Authority's gonna kill me
Purity used to rule me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Authority's gonna kill me
Purity used to rule me
