(1st verse)
Bm Bm* D F#
I realize they meant no harm and that they'd seen the truth
Bm Bm* D F#
These men and women young and old who tried to mold my youth
D F# Bm Bm*
They were only teaching me how to get through life
D F# Bm Bm*
How to punch the clock and get a home and get a wife
D F# Bm Bm*
They knew I was searching for things I'd never find
So they tried to break my mind by paddling my behind
(chorus)
D F# Bm Bm*
All for the love of an innocent mind
They were the blind leading the blind
D F# Bm Bm*
All for the love of molding young minds
They were to kind
Headmasters of mine
(bridge 1)
E G D D(E on top)
They themselves were products of a past society
They themselves were victims of the same atrocities
(2nd verse)
Bm Bm* D F#
I realize I must forgive but I will never forget
Bm Bm* D F#
These men and women young and old I'm forever in your debt
D F# Bm Bm*
They were only teaching me how to run the race
D F# Bm Bm*
Fill my position with a smile upon my face
D F# Bm Bm*
Don't ask the question if it isn't from the text
Throw me out into the hall and ask who wants to be next
(chorus)
(bridge 2)
I feel it's really sick how so much is wasted
There's so much food for thought that never is tasted
Just read the instructions and fill out the form
F# G* A
And whatever you do my son don't stray from the norm
(chorus)
(ending)
E F# :repeat
