[Charlie Brown's Teacher]

Wah wahwah wah wah wahwah waaaah wah wah, wah wah WAH WAH! Waah wah wahwaaaah wah wahwah wah.... wah wah? Wah!!! Wahwah wah wah wah waaaah....

Waaaaaaah!


1. Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels

2. Girl, you thought
You found the answer
On that magic carpet
Ride last night

3. I`ve been patient
I`ve been good
Tried to keep my
Hands on the table

4. Give me more lovin' than I've ever had
Make it all better when I'm feelin' sad
Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not

5. It's your world
And I'm just a squirrel
Trying to get a nut to move
Your butt to the dance floor

6. I was raised by a
Toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a
Strap right across my back

7. You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone

8. Whatcha gonna do
When the well runs dry
You gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side
For you, pretty baby, I'll even die

9. Always running, never caring
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
Were all you had to give

10. Put on your red dress, baby
Ya know we're goin' out tonight
Put on your red dress, baby
Lord, we're goin' out tonight

11. I gotta get away
Gotta get away
I don't know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone

12. We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun

The group Gym Class Heroes has to be in here somewhere, so I'm gonna guess it's here. Might as well, since I can't remember the name of the one song I knew of theirs from alternative radio, so Kroxing it is useless if I can't think of any songs of theirs.

What class is Charlie Brown's Teacher teaching today? (3 points) - Gym class/P.E.!

I'm one of the rare antisocial/always picked last types who actually loved gym class! Mainly because I was sneaky good at sports, and I got a perverse pleasure out of watching the faces turn when the assholes who got "stuck" with me suddenly realized they had a ringer. I could bore you to death regale you some of my favorite tales of gym class glory, but nobody's got time to read that shit...

Image Bonus: Got a visual aid for the teacher's class?

I was so hoping for a Balbricker image, particularly from Mike Hunt. I actually enjoyed many of the submissions in this game, but I'm giving the IBB to melly for Charles Atlas. I don't want any of his muscle bound freaks beating the crap out of me...
