They can snap your soul, blow it away Like a fragile leaf on a windy day. (Can you read? Can you write?) They couldn't care less You can graduate on American Express, no personal checks. What do I do to get through to you? Somebody sue the suit, don't let em eat you Don't you let 'em defeat you, don't let 'em mistreat you 'Cause sooner or later they're going to cheat you Pleased to meet you, I'm the teacher, yeah. I'm the teacher I'm the teacher I'm the teacher I'm the teacher …
