So you think your schooling's phony
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree

Right (right) you're bloody well right
You got the bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say

Ha, ha you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah, yeah you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!

Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry, no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right (quite right) you're bloody well right

You got the bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say

Ha, ha you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah, yeah you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say

You got the bloody right to say
You got the bloody right to say
You got the bloody right to say
You got the bloody right to say
