This song is about the terrible experiences one faces going through the strict, violent discipline and bullying of the British school system.
The Smiths wrote a classic song about the same topic, titled “The Headmaster Ritual”, from their 1985 album Meat is Murder, most definitely a great influence...
[Verse 1]
Dressed in bishop's robes
Terrifies me still in bishop's robes
Bastard headmaster
[Chorus]
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
[Verse 2]
Children taught to kill
To tear themselves to bits on playing fields
Dressed in bishop's robes
[Chorus]
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
