Teacher, teacher can you teach me?
C F Bb G
Can you tell me all I need to know?
C F Bb G
Teacher, teacher can you reach me?

Or will I fall when you let me go? Oh, oh

Am I ready for the real world? Will I pass the test?

But the joke's on those who believe the system's fair, oh yeah

So the years go on and on but nothing's lost or won

But you walk away with nothing, oh oh
