Conglomeration 2008 - Friday filk part 1 - Waist Deep in the Big Muddy & I'm sorry that life is not what I learned

[WendingWanderer]

OK - I think I got the lyrics:

Once I was taught that the law would protect you

With Justice and Mercy both loving and stern.

Once I was taught that all men were thought equal

Im sorry lifes not what Id learned.

Once I was taught that the war had its logic

Appeals to emotion were thinly spurned

Once I was taught its presumed youre not guilty

Im sorry lifes not what Id learned.

[WendingWanderer]

Sorry that people are caught in a system

That only wants vengeance with no stone unturned

Sorry that fairness has gone from the system

Im sorry lifes not what Id learned.

Once I was taught you were free to believe in

And practice the pathway to God you discerned

Once I was taught you were free to be different

Im sorry lifes not what Id learned.

[WendingWanderer]

Once I was taught there were limits to power

The days were long over when heretics burned

Once I was taught there were things that we stood for

Im sorry lifes not what Id learned.

Sorry that theres not true freedom for difference

For those who must follow what theyve always yearned

Sorry that I have no hope for it changing

Im sorry lifes not what Id learned.

Can you correct the lyrics and give the cords?

[WendingWanderer]

I know the lyrics to "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy", but I've never heard "I'm Sorry That Life's not What I Learned"

Could you write out the lyrics?

Please.

[WendingWanderer]

And guitar cords, too.

Please.
