  29 <p>He didn't seem to spend too much time rehearsing this song before he
  30 went into the studio (the whole album was recorded in one
  31 evening/night session) &ndash; he gets the first verse all wrong in the
  32 chords, and he struggles a lot with the final lines of each
  33 verse. I've written out the chords for the first two verses and in the
  34 following verses deviations from the <em>second</em> verse.</p>

  75 Girls' faces formed the forward path
  76 From phony jealousy
  77 To memorizing politics
  78 Of ancient history

  86 A self-ordained professor's tongue
  87 Too serious to fool
  88 Spouted out that liberty
  89 Is just equality in school
  90 &quot;Equality,&quot; I spoke the word

 110 Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
 111 Too noble to neglect
 112 Deceived me into thinking
 113 I had something to protect
 114 Good and bad, I define these terms
 115 Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
