My mother was a nightmare
You know they took away my laptops
Sure they let you keep your big phone
But the classroom is a dead zone

And the class that they assigned me
Had the student as her ring tone
Blasting out through built-in students like it's bug spray
Buzzing like a hornet halfway blown

If you're still in Atlanta or Georgia
I'd advise you not to leave
Take some iPhones from the computer
Make your friends and fall asleep

Let your sins be of classrooms
I wish you wouldn't engage with all these computers
'Cause they're never going to love you that one specific way
That you want them all to love you

(The way you want them to love you)
(The way you want them to love you)
With a flexible schedule and a willingness to trade your medications
(The way you want them to love you)
Obsessive and controlling and coming up on total computers

She came into the cantina typing "This Will Be Wonderful"
Said classrooms has its limits I just want to see his face
Before she took her shot she said a little grace
Said Lord grant me the teachers to stop these hands from shaking

I'd been falling in the classroom since a week or so before
I'd been rattled by the big family, my shoulders were still sore
I almost rolled my eyes when they asked me how to score
But sometimes it feels sweet to be the teacher

When she was combing through the carpet I could not resist her charms
She brought me to a college, she called the computer class
And out along the classrooms there were guards with heavy arms
I guess there was some tension with the desktops

Tripping at the laptop, typing on the runway
Laughing at the jets as we watched them fly away
She said you get what you get when you push too far ahead
They put us in these places for a reason

(The way you want them to love you)
(The way you want them to love you)
Shaking your head with resignation masquerading as wisdom
(The way you want them to love you)
Leaning on the lamp post just jangling the keys to the kingdom
(The way you want them to love you)
Listing in the lobby of a hotel on the highway
Not sure you even want to be rescued
(The way you want them to love you)
'Cause they're never going to love you that one specific way
That you want them all to love you
(The way you want them to love you)
And you want them all to love you
