Teacher, Teacher

Teacher, teacher, wont you tell me what is true
This kinda rising is just too long overdue
Teacher, teacher, howd I let it get this way?

Cause there was someone trying to tell me I was wrong
Ive been singin bout these things for far too long
Burn me up, boy, Ive got much more left to say

Im gonna be raising the roof
Im gonna be painting the town
Im gonna be tearing those white flags down

Teacher, teacher, there is danger on the screen
Some little coven of the bigotry machine
Teacher, teacher, howd they get to hold that sway?

Dont want to see them come to represent this age
The dumb, the dumber and the princes of the page
Theyve got the money, now lets give em Hell to pay

Im gonna be raising the roof
Im gonna be painting the town
Im gonna be tearing those white flags down

Im gonna be crossin that line
Im gonna be biding my time
Im gonna be kissing those walls goodbye

Teacher, this is not a seasonal review
Every generations got a little more to prove
Teacher, teacher, help me open up that door
Teacher, teacher, help me open up that door

Im gonna be raising the roof
Im gonna be painting the town
Im gonna be tearing those white flags down

Im gonna be raising the roof
Im gonna be painting the town
Im gonna be tearing those white flags down
Those white flags down
Teacher, teacher
