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 ?

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)

The path of least resistance - a bland text book existance
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
