There was more to this than meets the eye
And for all the things you taught me, only time will tell,
If I’ll be able to survive, oh yeah
Can you tell me all I need to know?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
Or will I fall when you let me go? Oh no
You know it’s a jungle out there
Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop me, I won’t be second best,
But the joke’s on those who believe the system’s fair, oh yeah
Can you tell me if I’m right or wrong?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
I want to know what’s goin’ on, oh yeah
And what you learned is soon forgotten
They take the best years of your life,
Try to tell you wrong from right,
But you walk away with nothing, oh oh
Can you tell me all I need to know?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
Or will I fall when you let me go?
Can you tell me if I’m right or wrong?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
I want to know what’s goin’ on, oh
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
Teacher, teacher, oh yeah
Teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher
