If Only Jack Merridew

If only

Law
Democracy and Justice,
Rational thinking and intelligent thinking,
Adults and civilization.

If they were just listening,
If only Jack Merridew paid attention to him,
If only he was the head,
I would teach him a lesson,
If the fire only burns
I had gone home
Back to my aunt, back to:

Law
Democracy and Justice,
Rational thinking and intelligent thinking,
Adults and civilization.

If I had not told you
The boy Ralph, the boss
I would be Charlie, Sam, Tom or Harry,
But not Piggy.
Please. Everything except that.
If I were the head, we would have:

Law
Democracy and Justice,
Rational thinking and intelligent thinking,
Adults and civilization.

If only I did not have fat or asthma,
If only I could build a fire,
If I could see alone
