[ Featuring Balloon ]
[Verse]
Confession is worth its weight in gold
So I decided to give up my voice
I read between the lines of reality
And I heard all the word messiahs
They say we're doomed and we're dead
They speak of plagues bound for the apocalypse
They say that God is dead
Intellectual said so
[Chorus]
And when they wrote the Bible
They left me on the shelf
Tales told not worth the weight
Left them for a future date
Think of me when you figure it out
Yours truly, the teacher
[Verse 2]
Power is earned
Not given
But the wars I fought were lightning quick
I stared my opponent in the eye
He beamed with a million volts
But a power with a higher concentration came into focus
Lurking deep within the shadows
I wrote an open letter to the government
Asking politely for a handout
[Chorus]
And when they wrote the Bible
They left me on the shelf
Tales told not worth the weight
Left them for a future date
Think of me when you figure it out
Yours truly, the teacher
[Bridge]
Passed my virtues to the wagging dogs
Watched the well dry up
No one else to blame
I waved my white flag
Time to quit
At least I'm the biggest fish in my house
[Chorus]
And when they wrote the Bible
They left me on the shelf
Tales told not worth the weight
Yours truly the teacher
[Chorus]
And when they wrote the Bible
They left me on the shelf
Tales told not worth the weight
Yours truly the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
Yours truly, the teacher
