Lyrics
Look what you get for following leaders,
Reflecting on the consequences of blindly following leaders who lead from a safe distance.
Who lead from the rear - where are they now?
Raising the question of the current whereabouts of those leaders who led from a position of safety.
What did we learn in history lessons?
Questioning the lessons learned from history.
How to sit quiet at the back of a class.
Learning to be passive and silent in the face of authority.
With so many things open to question,
Highlighting the many uncertainties in life and the lack of available answers.
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
Expressing regret for not seeking answers earlier when there was still a chance.
Life's an education - a multiple equation,
Life is a complex learning process, and everyone finds their unique solutions eventually.
Everybody finds their own solution in the end.
Emphasizing individuality in finding solutions to life's challenges.
"To be or not to be" is a very lengthy question,
Referencing the famous Shakespearean quote and the complexity of life's questions.
Has somebody please got a sharpened pencil they can lend?
Humorously requesting a pencil to tackle the profound question of existence.
What did we learn in history lessons?
Repeating the question about the lessons learned from history.
How to sit quiet at the back of a class.
Reiterating the idea of being passive and quiet in a learning environment.
With so many things open to question,
Stressing the abundance of unanswered questions and the lack of available guidance.
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
Expressing regret for not seeking answers earlier when there was still a chance.
Marching in time down a production line,
Metaphorically referring to conformity and routine as marching in time down a production line.
What did they teach you about life in a dole-queue?
Questioning the lessons taught about life while unemployed.
The Law of Relativity - (life's relative misery)
Referencing the difficulties in life as per the Law of Relativity.
The Law of Probability - (it's probably contrived)
Suggesting that life's challenges are likely artificially created based on the Law of Probability.
Newton's Law of Gravity - (we face a grave reality)
Highlighting the harsh reality of life using Newton's Law of Gravity.
The law that runs the jungle - (only the strong survive).
Referencing the survival of the fittest concept in the law that governs the jungle.
Look what you get for following leaders,
Repeating the consequences of blindly following leaders who lead from a safe distance.
Who lead form the rear - where are they now?
Raising the question of the current whereabouts of those leaders who led from a position of safety.
The path of least resistance - a bland text book existence,
Referring to a life of ease and conformity as the path of least resistance.
Don't expect to find the answers printed at the back.
Warning against expecting easy answers in a textbook existence.
The only sound advice that's carried me through life -
Encouraging resilience by playing the joker when faced with adversity.
When the cards are stacked against you - play the joker in the pack.
Providing practical advice for facing challenges with a sense of humor.
What did we learn in history lessons?
Repeating the question about the lessons learned from history.
How to sit quiet at the back of a class.
Reiterating the idea of being passive and quiet in a learning environment.
With so many things open to question,
Stressing the abundance of unanswered questions and the lack of available guidance.
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
Expressing regret for not seeking answers earlier when there was still a chance.
Marching in time down a production line,
Metaphorically referring to conformity and routine as marching in time down a production line.
What did they teach you about life in a dole-queue?
Questioning the lessons taught about life while unemployed.
