Thea Gilmore - Teacher, Teacher lyrics

Teacher, teacher, 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
