Double Standard?


You tell us to learn

You tell us don't cheat

You tell us play nice

You tell us don't sleep

 

How can we learn

When you won't teach?

What's  the material

You claim to preach?

 

How can't we cheat

When we don't know?

Is lack of teaching

Beginning to show?

 

How can we play nice

When even you judge?

Do you realize that we

Can see your grudge?

 

How can't we sleep

When class is so dull?

When we're so off topic

And you've lost control?

 

I ask you to teach

And then I won't cheat.

I ask you, be nice,

Perhaps I won't sleep.
