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
