History Lessens Lyrics

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
t'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?
