History Lessens The Final Examination by Skyclad 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 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 that teach you
'bout 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 rules 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 textbook 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 that teach you
'bout life in the dole queue?
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 that teach you
'bout life in the dole queue?
The Law of Relativity
Life's relative misery
The Law of Probability

Look what you get for following leaders
