(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)
( 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)
