Skyclad - History Lessons lyrics

rate me

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 class

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 class

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 class

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?
