Cyborg Teachers From Outer Space

Assembled in a factory sent down to Earth, 

they eat calculators, invading our turf

Some seem human, but don’t let it fool you

They’re only here to school you


They’re made not to care, 

Stains on their collars, parts in their hair

Logarithms pump in their heart;

They’re made to finish, not to start


They’re here to speak in binary code,

Your creativity will corrode

You can’t fight them; it’s a sermon for the spine, 

The only reason? To waste your time


Yeah, school can be useful to keep dreams at bay,

Sink our frigates and interrupt our play

They want us to worship the quadratic equation;

Sin and cosine are their elation


Programmed with standards 

divined against the cosmic glass

Their sense of duty is to kick your ass
