For every time you raised your hand
So many times I was made to pay
The only lesson you ever taught me
Was how to get out of the way
 
You would talk grandly
Of how one day i’d thank you
But the only thing you ever taught me
Was just how wrong you were
 
Your curriculum was black and blue
Your speciality how to hide a bruise
And as you lectured me on how horrible I was
I only learnt to hate you
 
As time has done its best to undo
Lessons learnt in the classroom that you ruled
Sometimes still when someone raises their hand near me
Instintictively still I cower away
 
And from the studies
You forced me to endure
From every lesson you beat me with
I learnt a teacher should not be a drunk
