Bm Em F#7
All he ever wanted to do was harm
Bm Em F#7
All he ever wanted to be was cruel
Bm D A Em
At twelve years old Fate marked his brow
Bm D A Em
And he said, I have a mission now
Gm F#m7
But we laughed at his clothes
Gm F#m7
And the blackheads round his nose
B
When we were boys at school
Dm
And he said, my camouflage will hide me
Gm Dm Gm Dm
I?ll be grey as the world is grey
Em
A thousand government corridors
Am Em Am Em
Behind which of a thousand doors
F#m F#sus4
Will I delegate and rule, o little boys at school
Bm Em F#7
All he ever wanted to do was harm
Bm Em F#7
All he ever wanted to be was cruel
Bbm C# G# D#m
And sometimes when the night is still
Bbm C# G# D#m
I can feel the gathering of his will
Bm D A Em
I can feel him flex the strings of power
Bm D A Em
And grope to his appointed hour
Gm F#m7
But we laughed at the dirt
Gm F#m7
And the frayed cuffs on his shirt
C C7
When we were boys at school
