Terrible Tutors

Sitting in the back with my head low

Their voice a drone

Talking 'bout a world where the streets are made of stone

Books stacked high but their passion's running dry

They can't even teach me how to aim for the sky

Worst teachers standing at the front with a frown

Words so dull

Dragging every student down

Dreams in my mind but they break my wings

I won't let these lessons define my spring

They chalk the board

Same speech every year

No spark

No heart

Just feeding on career

Test papers rain

Yeah

They're bringing the pain

But knowledge ain't alive when you're teaching in vain

Raise my hand

Yeah I'm seeking some light

But their sealed-up eyes keep my questions out of sight

A classroom's a cage if they lock out the spark

I’ll teach myself how to ignite in the dark

Worst teachers standing at the front with a frown

Words so dull

Dragging every student down

Dreams in my mind but they break my wings

I won't let these lessons define my spring

One day I’ll rise as the lesson they missed

Proof you can't crush every learner who persists

Their tired scripts can't hold me anymore

I'm writing my own story

Kicking down the door
