I'm Not Your Paycheck
Location
I'm a number, a statistic,
a misfit and you don't give a shit
because all you want is the money.
In a world dictated by economy,
full of mindless monkeys doing tricks,
teaching is no longer a profession, but a position.
I want a teacher who doesn't see a penny
but a student, one of many
who needs the attention to grow.
So why do you expect us to know
all these equations and useless facts?
Is it to grow up and become part of the act?
I don't see any teachers.
I see puppets in a play,
but I refuse to let them make me the same way.
