-you say, teacher, is that right?
Aha, but tom paine ahead And to those tories thomas no, no, no, no you got to go, you got to go You can't still on freedom's track If you don't go forward, you go You can't giddyup by whoa And sitting on your quo
-yes, teacher! yes, teacher! yes, teacher! yes, teacher!
