Thea Gilmore - Teacher, Teacher lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Teacher, Teacher lyrics]
Won't you tell me what is true
This kinda rising is just too long overdue
Teacher, teacher
How'd I let it get this way?
'Cause there was someone trying to
Tell me I was wrong
I've been singin' 'bout these things
For far too long burn me up, boy
I've got much more left to say
I'm gonna be raising the roof
I'm gonna be painting the town
I'm gonna be tearing those white flags down
Teacher, teacher
There is danger on the screen
Some little coven of the bigotry machine
Teacher, teacher
How'd they get to hold that sway?
Don't want to see them come
To represent this age the dumb
The dumber and the princes of the page
They've got the money
Now let's give 'em Hell to pay
I'm gonna be raising the roof
I'm gonna be painting the town
I'm gonna be tearing those white flags down
I'm gonna be crossin' that line
I'm gonna be biding my time
I'm gonna be kissing those walls goodbye
Teacher, this is not a seasonal review
Every generation's got a little more to prove
Teacher, teacher, help me open up that door
Teacher, teacher, help me open up that door
I'm gonna be raising the roof
I'm gonna be painting the town
I'm gonna be tearing those white flags down
I'm gonna be raising the roof
I'm gonna be painting the town
I'm gonna be tearing those white flags down
Those white flags down teacher, teacher
