Skyclad
[Intro]
Dm C
 
[Chorus]
 Dm            G       C         Dm
Look what you get for following leaders,
 Dm                 G     C              Dm
who lead from the rear - where are they now?
 Dm            G       C         Dm
Look what you get for following leaders,
 Dm                G       C
who lead from the rear - where are they...
 C
Where are they now?
 
[Verse]
 Dm           G       C        Dm
What did we learn in history lessons?
 Dm          G           C         Dm
How to sit quiet at the back of a class
 Dm           G      C        Dm
with so many things open to questions,
      Dm          G            C         Dm
it's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
 
  C                       Dm
Life's an education - a multiple equation,
  C                          Dm
everybody finds their own solution in the end.
     C                     Dm
"To be or not to be" is a very lengthy question,
      C                               Dm
has somebody please got a sharpened pencil they can lend?
 
 
[Verse]
 G           C        F        Dm
What did we learn in history lessons?
 G           C           F         Dm
How to sit quiet at the back of a class
     G         C     F        Dm
with so many things open to questions,
     G            C            F         Dm
it's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.
 
[Chorus]
  Dm            C Dm
Marching in time
 Dm                  C Dm
down a production line,
 Dm                    C Dm
what did that teach you
       Dm                    C Dm
about life in the dole queue?
 
[Verse]
     Dm                     Am
The Law of Relativity - (life's relative misery).
     C                            Dm
The Law of Probability - (it's probably contrived).
  Dm                           Am
Newton's Law of Gravity - (we face a grave reality).
     C                           Dm
The Law that runs the jungle - (only the strong survive).
 
Dm Am C
Dm G C
 
[Verse]
 Dm            G       C         Dm
Look what you get for following leaders,
 Dm                 G     C              Dm
who lead from the rear - where are they now?
 
     C                             Dm
The path of least resistance - a blank text book existence,
  C                               Dm
don't expect to find the answers printed at the back.
       C                       Dm
The only sound advice that's carried me through life -
          C                                        Dm
when the cards are stacked against you - play the joker in the pack.
 
[Verse]
 G           C        F        Dm

 G           C           F         Dm
How to sit quiet at the back of a class
     G         C     F        Dm
with so many things open to questions,
     G            C            F         Dm
it's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.

Marching in time
 Dm                  C Dm
down a production line,
 Dm                    C Dm
what did that teach you
       Dm                    C Dm
about life in the dole queue?
