(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)

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)
