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

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

They were the blind leading the blind
