lyrics

The future generation is growing today
Please help them find their way
They don’t need to conform to this shit
The system can suck my dick

Children need personality

Thank you, teachers, for all that you do
Inner connection, communication
We’re not a brick the system can place
We all have a peculiar taste
Thank you, teachers, for all that you do
Making sure we get through

I like to learn when its taught by you;
Collaborative originality
Why does a number define my brain?
It really makes me go insane
It’s not your fault we feel like robots
but that’s why some of us smoke pot
How does a test know what’s best?
when it makes us pressed and stressed?

Children need morality

Thank you, teachers, for all that you do
Helping us find the clues
hank you teachers for all that you do
Making sure we get through
Each one, Teach one, Reach one, We one

We’re all looking for something to find,
To really expand our minds
We grow, learn, and succeed
That should be a guarantee
We know you love us, that’s why you teach
But sometimes it makes us screech
We students want to feel free

Children need vitality
