The Law that runs the jungle - (only the strong survive).

Look what you get for following leaders,
Who lead from the rear - where are they now?

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 questions,
It's too late to cry - there's no one to ask.

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