Teacher, Teacher! - Live

Good evening kids, take your seats, open up your Bibles
 I'm gonna chastise a rival so keep your eyes wide open
 The young soul lost control, make yout first foul
 This is my duty to set the bounds
 She grabbed my hand, took me in, placed me in front of a class
 She gave a hint I was the clou of her mass
 I'm in the middle of her Holy of Holies
 I have no worries
 I saw dusty icons on the walls
 I saw needles and stones
 So she put a paper bag on my head
 She pointed finger at me, and then she said
 "Dear Lord, forgive me as I'm slapping, slapping, slapping this sinful child
 By your hand I'm led so I will show, show what is wrong and what is right
 Choose your label 'cause I'm mercy, mercy, merciful
 Put your knuckles on the table, meet my friend Ferule
 Who'll punish you"

 When their prejudice let us down
 We stand firmly on our ground
 Don't let their school make a fool of you
 Because the teachers may be fools too
 When their prejudice let us down
 We stand firmly on our ground
 Don't let their school make a fool of you
 Because the teachers may be fools too

 Laws chalked on a blackboard
 Can't be erased until it gets boring
 The lady spoke and then she choked
 On the convictions oh so alluring
 She made a pause in her verbal overdose
 My paper bag slipped down on the floor
 I took a look around, there was no sanctuary
 Desks empty, the school was all imaginary
 Teacher, teacher! Self-proclaimed 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 one

 Hey, Melbourne!
 Are you here or not?
 Let me see your hands thrown up in the air!
 Follow the rythm!

 Your idols scream to me throwing shame on my face
 As I turn away from infamy and disgrace
 I smile to you, 'cause I want you to see
 How I break the rules in front of your trinity

 Your idols scream to me throwing shame on my face
 As I turn away from infamy and disgrace, oh
 I smile to you, I smile to you, I smile to you
