History Lessons Lyrics - Skyclad

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.
