!! No Respect !!
Respect is something I never had,
Sometimes I was good, but mostly bad.
No matter what I had said or done,
I would never listen, nor speak to my mum.
Well now I’m at a boarding school,
It’s got everything here including a swimming pool.
But when I think of my family it makes me sad,
That’s what I get for having no respect and being bad.
But now that’s all changed - I hope,
Now I feel that I can cope.
For a simple reason everyone should have respect,
That’s what I feel and hope that’s what you expect.
But I’m leaving this school when I’m sixteen,
I think you and I both know what this will mean.
For if you don’t it means I’m free to go,
A simple lesson, have respect for everyone you know.
