The Student Becomes the Teacher

Shane does say

On a tired summer day

Mom and Dad, I'd like to make a change

Or I'll slip away

One of the school days

On the TV set does play

Something clicks inside his little brain

The answer is plain

The student becomes the teacher

And the teacher becomes the principal

And the principal dies

And everybody cries

They remember him alive, you see

I want that for me

Dad does say

Quaking, there's just no way

Don't you ever turn on channel five

And we want you alive

Life's not fair

These kids they just don't care

I'll never let you step foot in that place!

(Don't slip away)

And the student becomes the teacher

And the teacher becomes the principal

And the principal dies

And everybody cries

They remember him alive, you see

I want that for me

Oh please believe me

I'm asking you to try

Stay beside me

Well I just can't stay

Ah-ah-ahhhhhh

Ah-ah-ahhhhhh

Ah-ah-ahhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh
