Skyclad - History Lessens lyrics

Look what you get for following leaders Who lead from the rear, where are they now? What did we learn in history lessons? How to sit quiet at the back of a cla** With so many things open to question It's too late to cry, there's no-one to ask Life's an education, a multiple equation Everybody finds their own solution in the end "To be or not to be" is a very lengthy question Has somebody please got a sharpened pencil they can lend? What did we learn in history lessons? How to sit quiet at the back of a cla** With so many things open to question It's too late to cry, there's no-one to ask Marching in time Down a production line What did that teach you 'bout life in the dole queue? The Law of Relativity Life's relative misery The Law of Probability It's probably contrived Newton's Law of Gravity We face a grave reality The law that rules the jungle Only the strong survive Look what you get for following leaders Who lead from the rear, where are they now? The path of least resistance, a bland textbook existence Don't expect to find the answers printed at the back The only sound advice that's carried me through life When the cards are stacked against you, play the joker in the pack What did we learn in history lessons? How to sit quiet at the back of a cla** With so many things open to question It's too late to cry, there's no-one to ask Marching in time Down a production line What did that teach you 'bout life in the dole queue?
