I won't teach the tragically stupid   I won't educate those unwilling to learn   I won't pass anyone who ultimately fails   I won't read the pages that you turn      You never listen to what I say   You never listen so just go away   I am your mentor and you're my pupil   Your head is empty space that I can't fill      I can't help those who will never change   I can't move those frozen in yesterday   I can't reverse years of neglect   I can't cover the price that you'll pay      You never listen to what I say   You never listen so just go away   I am your mentor and you're my pupil   Your head is empty space that I can't fill      I'll never be able to make you understand   I'll never be able to make you see   I can't open doors with iron locks   I'll never be able to find your key      You never listen to what I say   You never listen so just go away   I am your mentor and you're my pupil   Your head is empty space that I can't fill      I can't force feed your hunger   I can't quench your dying thirst   I can't change what happened with us   I can't help it if I was your first      You never listen to what I say   You never listen so just go away   I am your mentor and you're my pupil   Your head is empty space that I can't fill
