Headmasters of Mine

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
 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 too kind, headmasters of mine
 They themselves were products
 Of a past society
 They themselves were victims
 Of the same atrocity
 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 the 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
 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 too kind, headmasters of mine
 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
 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 too kind, headmasters of mine
