(1st verse)
I realize they meant no harm and that they'd seen the truth
These men and women young and old who tried to mold my youth
They were only teaching me how to get through life
How to punch the clock and get a home and get a wife
They knew I was searching for things I'd never find
So they tried to break my mind by paddling my behind
(chorus)
All for the love of an innocent mind
They were the blind leading the blind
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)
I realize I must forgive but I will never forget
These men and women young and old I'm forever in your debt
They were only teaching me how to run the race
Fill my position with a smile upon my face
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
And whatever you do my son don't stray from the norm
(chorus)
(ending)
E F# :repeat
