[Intro]
A5 A#dim A5 A#dim
A5 Good evening, kids
Take your seats
Open up your Bibles A#dim
I'm gonna chastise some rivals
So keep your A5eyes wide open
The young soul lost control
Made her first foul
A#dimThis is my duty to set the bounds
[Verse 1]
A5 She grabbed my hand, took me in,
Placed me in front of the class
She gave a hint I was the clou of her mass
I'm in the middle of the Holy of Holies
I have no worries
I saw dusty icons on the wall
I saw needles and stones
So she put a paper bag on my head
She pointed finger at me,
And then she said
[Verse 2]
Dear Lord, forgive me as
I'm A#dimslapping, slapping,
A5Slapping this sinful child
By your hand I'm led so I will, A#dimshow, show
What is wrong and what is right A5
Choose your label 'cause
I'mA#dim mercy, mercy, merciful A5
Put your knuckles on the table
A#dimMeet my friend ferule
Who'll punish you"
[Chorus]
A#5 D5 When their prejudice let us down A#5
We stand firmly on our ground D5
Don't let their school make a fool of you
BeA#5cause the teachers may be fools too
D5 When their prejudice let us down A#5
We stand firmly on our ground D5
Don't let their school make a fool of you
Because the teachers may be fools too A#5 C#5
[Verse 3]
A5 Laws chalked on the blackboard A#dim
Can't be erased until it gets boring A5
The lady spoke and then she choked A#dim
On the convictions oh so alluring A5
She made a pause in her verbal overdose
A#dim My paper bag slipped down on the floor
I took a A5look around, there was no sanctuary
Desk s A#dimempty, the school was all imaginary,
[Verse 4]
A5 Teacher, teacher!
Selfproclaimed preacher
Under the flag of welfare your lectures start to blare
We need no soap shoved down our throats
So keep your monologues unrated and remote
I am a bad example of order
This life is not a prison and you are not a warden
Please teacher, teacher!
Leave us alone
As we accept life lessons from no A#5one
[Chorus]
D5 When their prejudice let us down A#5
We stand firmly on our D5ground
Don't let their school make a fool of you
BeA#5cause the teachers may be fools too
D5 When their prejudice let us down A#5
We stand firmly on our ground D5
Don't let their school make a fool of you D5
