History Lessens

History Lessens - Skyclad

Written by：Martin Walkyier

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 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 class

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 class

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
