Lyrics of ' Hindsight 2 - A Very Clever Guy Indeed ' by Galahad

Hindsight is a very clever guy
But not as clever as I!
He can only look back
He can't plan for the future

Yes they say hindsight is a very clever guy
But not as clever as I!
He can only look back
He can't plan for the future

Come on, come on and give me a try,
Any way you like

Whether good or bad I don't know for sure
We'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out
History will judge our actions
Someone else will point the finger of blame

I guess it depends on the money
The money, the money, yes the money!
The colour of your money
Not to say your skin

("It always comes down to money and wealth
Influence and the people you know
It always does, it always will")

But what about the caged people
Does it get any better for them?
It could hardly get much worse
From squalid attitudes to squalid conditions
Just push them all to the back of your minds
They are of no concern to either party
Now or ever

("I doubt it will, they'll just remain forgotten
For them nothing will change
If it does, it will only be for the worse
They'll keep it all out of view
The world will never know the real truth
Never")

Foresight, is a very clever guy
Much cleverer than all of us
Yet we never seem to use him
I wonder why?
