When your blood is boiling and someone is spoiling The whole fucking day for you And you want to react but you can't fight back 'Cause there's nothing you can legally do Then where do you turn to to free those emotions Before you implode and burn Why should I stand there and be verbally trashed There's a lesson that needs to be learned
You call yourself a teacher? But how much am I expected to take? You call yourself a teacher? Any second now I'm gonna break! You call yourself a teacher? And I don't care if it comes with a price 'Cause it'll be worth it when I finally burst If being nasty can make you be nice Be nice
It shouldn't be me treading in the trenches So go ahead and dig your own grave But you won't get me so sit down in your benches Accept the hopeless path you've paved I'm not wasting my time or giving you my respect When I get 'fuck you' back in return If you're unable to treat me with an ounce of respect Why should I repair the bridges you burn
You call yourself a teacher? But how much am I expected to take? You call yourself a teacher? Any second now I'm gonna break! You call yourself a teacher? And I don't care if it comes with a price 'Cause it'll be worth it when I finally burst If being nasty can make you be nice Be nice
I'm supposed to be older and wiser and better But how much am I expected to take My shoulders are heavy, I'm despiteful and bitter Any second now I'm gonna break I'm not breaking me without breaking you first And I don't care if it comes with a price 'Cause it'll be worth it when I finally burst If being nasty can make you be nice
You call yourself a teacher? But how much am I expected to take? You call yourself a teacher? Any second now I'm gonna break! You call yourself a teacher? And I don't care if it comes with a price 'Cause it'll be worth it when I finally burst If being nasty can make you be nice Be nice Be nice
