Alis Rowe - What's the Time, Mr Wolf? Lyrics

Yo
I will tell 4 stories in this song, listen carefully

Sitting in the first class was the lad called Julien
He passed maths, and put his hand up time and time again
Professor found him hard cuz although he was clever
Whatever he was executing he thought he was better
Other children peeved him, they called him annoying
Leave them alone, he wouldn't, he was just too outgoing
He huffed. They were stupid, he always said "You're wrong!"
He was excluded from the room for being so headstrong
In the playground gaming, asking Mr Wolf, "what's the time?"
If a kid is taking too few steps he brings them down, "Oh the crime!"
He's spoiling their enjoyment by enforcing all the rules
A stickler, it fueled him, others thought he was a fool
Julien did not get on with peers, he thought they were dumb
Flaws, fears, his failing? No, he couldn't talk to anyone
He had no awareness (None!), of his own exterior
It was a lonely feeling for him being so superior

What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
12 o' clock, 1 o'clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
2 o' clock, 3 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
4 o'clock, 5 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
6 o' clock, Dinner time

Michael was taught inside classroom number two
He was a special child, everyone else except him knew
He didn't ever question why when he had moved digital
All of the other students still used paper and a pencil, y'all
Break time, when children were running from the wolf
He was by himself, on the bench, wandering by the walls
With a book, cuz he loved to peruse when they were all just talking
He was confused realising that they were all watching
They told Michael he was different
He hated the idea, they meant it as a compliment
It filled him with great fear
He behaved identically to his school mates
He believed in likeminds, ethically, he felt safe
Michael didn't party, wanted to, he did not know why
Dressed smartly, smiling yo, but never got an invite
As he grew he observed them all going to the prom
He knew he'd been reserved and wondered what he did so wrong

What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
12 o' clock, 1 o'clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
2 o' clock, 3 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
4 o'clock, 5 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?

Jasmine was in trouble, she kept trying to fit in
Crumbling at break time, she was faking with her friends
She hid behind her makeup, Jazz was in class 3
She sat at the back, not wanting to be seen, wanting to flee
Jasmine went to war every night with her identity
She called herself alien, felt like a separate entity
She was so upset, that she was so opposed
Pretended to everyone, it was only she who knows
Jasmine tried to trick herself into being better
An actor she became, if she asked about the weather
She felt diss-associated, from everybody else
She liked dudes and shoes, but she was hating on herself
She was talented actually, got excellent grades
She challenged none, was amicable and very well behaved
Wasn't chosen to be Wolf, was crucified for being shy
"What's wrong with me?" were her last words as she wept at night

What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
12 o' clock, 1 o'clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
2 o' clock, 3 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
4 o'clock, 5 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?

Alice had a better story, class 4 was the place to be
Lexia dyslexic, Jack was black, Eve was 6 foot 3
"A dreamer Alice is" Matthew said, "her head's in the stars"
Teacher said, "Don't change, you will be valued as you are"
Alice has some good ideas, listen!
Give her the chance, ask for her opinion
Get a different visioned circumstance
Won't get any bias, it will all be very logical
A very quiet person, but methodical and responsible
Did you know she likes rap? And isn't that cool?
She was writing lyrics, and her holmes were playing Wolf
In high spirits on her own, everyone liked her songs
And she was far from lonely bro, she knew that she belonged
She had an extraordinary mind, she had dimensions
Although it's exceptions, who are inclined to depression
But her needs were addressed, she was invigorated
"I know why I'm complicated", instead she celebrated

What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
12 o' clock, 1 o'clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
2 o' clock, 3 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
4 o'clock, 5 o' clock
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
What's the time, Mr Wolf?
6 o' clock, Dinner time
