[Verse]
(It's kinda hard to get the right timing with this, so I did this part like
every other person did it, with a Chord sheet. Easier for everyone.)

[Lyrics with chords]
A                     E
New blood joins this earth

D               A
And quickly he's subdued

                         E
Through constant pain disgrace

D                      A
The young boy learns their rules

                          E
With time the child draws in

D                 A
This whipping boy done a wrong

                     E
Deprived of all his thoughts

D                   A
the young man struggles on and on

             C            G
He knows a vow unto his own

C               G
That never from this day

      C                 G    E
 His will they'll take away.
