Skyclad - History Lessons lyrics

Look what you get for following leaders, who lead from the rear - where are they now? Look what you get for following leaders, who lead from the rear - where are they... 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 questions, 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 questions, it's too late to cry - there's no one to ask. Marching in time down a production line, what did that teach you about 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 runs 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 text book 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 questions, it's too late to cry - there's no one to ask. Marching in time down a production line, what did that teach you about life in the dole queue?
