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 cl-ss.
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 cl-ss.
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 they teach you about life in a 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 form 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 cl-ss.
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 they teach you about life in a dole-queue?
