History Lessens

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 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? --- History Lessens - Skyclad
