(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


(chorus)


(ending)
E F :repeat
