Teacher, Teacher Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

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
