Charm School Dropout lyrics – The Dogmatics
This song is NOT by the real Boston garage rock band, the Dogmatics, which has been making music since 1981!
It’s by a UK group that includes former The Dogs, Slaughter, and the Automatics members.

Lyrics
“What would you do if you knew what it is that you’ve got? Would you change what it is? Well, I think you would probably not.
Cause when you’re stuck on that track. There’s just no turning back. You’re such a charm school dropout. You never know what you’re talking about. You’re such a charm school dropout. You’re way off the track, Jack.
What would you do if you knew that you don’t have a clue? And sooner or later they’re gonna come looking for you. But you strut and you pout. You go pushing your weight about. You’re such a charm school dropout. You never know what you’re talking about. You’re such a charm school dropout. You’re way off the track, Jack. Charm school dropout. Charm school dropout…”
– Mick Rossi & David Philp

With A Scarlet Letter
New single "With A Scarlet Letter" was written and sung by Peter O'Halloran. This track may come off like a goofy garage/pub rocker on the surface. But at a deeper level, it examines our nation's puritanical heritage and warns of forces in America which seek to erode the separation church and state. So, yeah, it's a fun sing-along number that's also a political anthem. This band never disappoints.

Library Girl
It steams ahead like the best Dogmatic material... The Dogs are in the same creative tear they were in the early eighties. It’s amazing to see and hear it happen. We have this on our Top Ten songs.
Library Girl is the kind of rock song any fan of this kind of music should get to know to draw The Dogmatics out of the Boston circuit. Yes, Library Girl is that good, believe me.
It's 100% vintage Dogmatics and vintage Jerry Lehane — a mid-tempo punk-pop banger straight out of the Boston garage rock textbook... And some of those lyrics made me laugh out loud!
