"Mister Professor" lyrics

Mister professor you're well educated I know
But some things you quote to our youngsters
Has troubled me so
They're under your influence
So hear my cry in the night
And if you go changing the good kids we sent you
Be sure that you're right

On the subject of God
If you have any doubts don't discuss 'em
For a teacher should teach

And a preacher should preach
Not betray the people who trust 'em

We sent you a good Christian boy
And he knows right from wrong
Beware of the danger
Don't send us a stranger back home

Now if you look down with a cynical frown
On us poor working slobs
Then all I can say is the taxes we pay
Created your jobs

Don't turn our kids loose on the world
With a messed up mind
Just help them with learning
Not marching and burning and we'll like it fine

I've heard that you tell kids
To run from the draft if they can
Well his dad didn't run

And if he's daddy son
He'll handle his name like a man

So don't build a wall
Between them and the people outside
For life's what it is making men
Not cowards that run and hide
Beware of the danger
Don't send us a stranger back home
