[Intro]

[Chorus]
Bb A7                                  
■  ■  Good evening kids take your seats
             A7    
Open up your Bibles
                        A7    
I'm gonna chastise some rivals
   A7                      
So keep your eyes wide open
                    A7     
The young soul lost control
A7                  
Make your first foul
A7                               
This is my duty to set the bounds


[Verse]
               A7  
She grabbed my hand
     Bb                                   
Took me in placed me in front of the class
           Gm                               
She gave a hint I was the clown of the class
    A7                   Bb             A7
I'm in the middle of the Holy of Holies ■ 
Gm Bb        Gm      A7
■  I have no worries ■ 
                         Bb  
I saw dusty icons on the wall
  A7  Bb7               
I saw needles and stones
                             Bb  
So she put a paper bag on my head
A7 Gm                 Bb                      A7
■  She pointed finger at me and then she said ■ 
A7                      Bb7                     
■  Dear Lord forgive me as I'm slapping slapping
                     A7   
Slapping this sinful child
                               Bb7      
By your hand I'm led so I will show show
     A7           F7   A7      
What is wrong and what is right
                  Bb7                    A7      
Choose your label 'cause I'm mercy mercy merciful
         A7                   
Put your knuckles on the table
        Bb7                   A7        
Meet my friend Pharoah who'll punish you


[Chorus]
D            D7        Gm     Bb  
■ When their prejudice let us down
         Gm                  
We stand firmly on our ground
D7                                       
Don't let their school make a fool of you
            Bb                    Gm  D7
Because the teachers may be fools too ■ 
D            D7               Bb  
■ When their prejudice let us down
         Gm            D     
We stand firmly on our ground
D7                     D              D7 
Don't let their school make a fool of you
            D7                       
Because the teachers may be fools too

[Verse]
A7                            
Laws chalked on the blackboard
Bb7                                 
Can't be erased until it gets boring
A7                          Bb7   
The lady spoke and then she choked
                   A7            
On her convictions oh so alluring
A7                                     
She made a pause in her verbal overdose
             Bb                       
My paper bag slipped down on the floor
              Bb                           
I took a look around there was no sanctuary
      Bb7                                  
Desks empty the school was all imaginary ah
C7 A7             
■  Teacher teacher
Bb                     
Selfproclaimed preacher
A7                Gm     
Under the flag of welfare
Bb                     Gm   
Your lectures start to blare
A7         Bb                          
We need no soap shoved down our throats
A7           Gm                 Bb  A7    
So keep your monologues unrated and remote
                      Bb   
I am a bad example of order
A7                 Gm         Bb            A7    
This life is not a prison and you are not a warden
               Bb     
Please teacher teacher
         A7   
Leave us alone
      Gm          Bb                 
As we accept life lessons from no one


[Chorus]
D                             Bb  
■ When their prejudice let us down
                       D     
We stand firmly on our ground
                D                        
Don't let their school make a fool of you
Bb                                   
Because the teachers may be fools too
D            D7        D      Bb  
■ When their prejudice let us down
                       D     
We stand firmly on our ground
                D                        
Don't let their school make a fool of you

[Verse]
                     Gm
Your idols scream to me
                     D   
Throwing shame on my face
     A              C          Eb      
As I turn away from infamy and disgrace
Gm                                  D7  D
I smile to you 'cause I want you to see ■


[Chorus]
      A7                               C       Eb
How I break the rules in front of your trinity ■ 
                     Gm
Your idols scream to me
                  D      
Throwing shame on my face
     A7             C7         C        Eb
As I turn away from infamy and disgrace ■ 
     Gm          
Oh I smile to you
D             
I smile to you
  D           
I smile to you
