[Verse 1]
Shane does say
On a tired summer day
Mum and dad, I'd like to make a change
Or I'll slip away
[Verse 2]
Bored of the school days
On the tv set does play
Something clicks inside his little brain
The answers plain
[Chorus 1]
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 loved that [?]
[Verse 3]
Death does say
Quaking, there's just no way
Don't you ever turn our channel [?]
And we want you alive
Life's not there
These kids they just don't care
I'll never let you step foot in that place
(Don't slip away)
[Chorus 2]
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 loved that [?]
[Chorus 3]
Oh please believe me
I'm asking you to try
Sixty nine me
Well I just can't stay
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ahhhhhh
Ah-ah-ahhhhhh
Ah-ah-ahhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh
