Ryan Montbleau - Substitute Teacher Blues Lyrics
My calloused finger tipsAre covered with chalk.And my hippie van sticks out like a sore thumbIn the faculty parking lot.I sign an autograph at night timeAnd a bathroom pass by day.And my skin smells like smokeSoaked in from the night before.And little high-school kids are laughing at the sight of meAs I walk on through the door.I sign an autograph at night timeAnd a bathroom pass by day.But as I sit there hunched over someone elses desk,I hang my head and whisper, and this is what I say:I want to get the hell out of my high school.Im gonna scream at the top of my lungs.No, I dont know why your teacher is absent,Sit down and get your work sheet done.My skin smells like smokeSoaked in from the night before.And I get self-conscious looking at pretty little 16-year old girlsAnd trying not to look at them as they walk through the door.I sign an autograph at night timeAnd Im.starting to feel likea pedophile by day.(ahem)But as I sit there hunched over somebody elses deskI hang my head and whisper and this is what I say:I want to get the hell out of my high school.Im gonna scream at the top of my lungs.No, I dont know why your teacher is absent,Sit down and get your work sheet done.Id like to see John Mayer do this shit.Hed probably run through those double doors.Substitute teacher with the bar gigs at night time,I guess well see what all this time is for.I guess well see what all this time is for
