Teacher Lyrics

Teacher these lessons have gotten old fast

I don't think I'm gonna learn all that much in this class

I'd rather be out there exploring the world

Teacher I'm doing all that I learned from you

And I don't want to be mean but I get the clue

That I'd have been better off in my bed and curled

I don't want to yell now, but I know

I have better places I should go

And I don't want to have to fight with you

I don't want to be a broken heart

When I have the chance to make real art

So tell me what it is I'm meant to do

I am a fighter

I am alive

I am a hero

I will survive

I can not stay here

I won't be contained

I have a fire

That cannot be tamed

I am a legend

Just you wait and see

Soon you'll admit that

You're wrong about me

I have the fever pitch

Inside of my brain

And I cannot be trained

Teacher I'm worried you won't listen to me

Cause I don't have a good way of making you see

And I'm just sitting here hoping you understand

Teacher I'm stuck here watching hours go by

And I don't know if this is where I want to die

But at this point I think it's getting out of hand

My life is starting and I know

If its up to you then I won't go

But now I think I'm ready to make my choice

And I don't want you to be scared

After this all I'm well prepared

And I am gonna raise my voice

I am a fighter

I am alive

I am a hero

I will survive

I can not stay here

I won't be contained

I have a fire

That cannot be tamed

I am a legend

Just you wait and see

Soon you'll admit that

You're wrong about me

I have the fever pitch

Inside of my brain

And I cannot be trained

I know you'll be okay

And I know you'll save the day

And I know that this is right

And I know it's best for you

But it's still so hard to do

And I don't want to say goodbye

So promise me you'll be okay

I am a fighter

I am alive

I am a hero

I will survive

I can not stay here

I won't be contained

I have a fire

That cannot be tamed

I am a legend

Just you wait and see

Soon you'll admit that

I'm making history

I have the fever pitch

Inside of my brain

And I cannot be trained
