(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

                 F#
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
