  (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

  

            G                          A                

  So they tried to break my mind by paddling my behind

  

  

  (chorus)

           D              F#       Bm   Bm*

  All for the love of an innocent mind

  

                  G                 A

  They were the blind leading the blind

  

               D        F#           Bm   Bm*

  All for the love of molding young minds

  

             G

  They were to kind

  Headmasters of mine

  

  

  (bridge 1)

  E                      G             D          D(E on top)

  They themselves were products of a past society

  

  E                       G               A

  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

  

             G                            A

  Throw me out into the hall and ask who wants to be next

  

  

  (chorus)

  

  

  (bridge 2)

  E  E  F#  F#

  E  E

  

  F#                     E                

  I feel it's really sick how so much is wasted

  

  F#                              E

  There's so much food for thought that never is tasted

  

  F#                              E

  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
