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.
