Live And Learn - Joe Public

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn

Here’s a little story about life

Everybody that lives surely dies

A lot of people ask the question why

Some people have to go through so much more

Before they really learn about life’s score

The subject is not to be ignored

I don’t wanna be the one

To tell you how it’s gotta be Living is the only way

You ever really gonna see

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn

There’s so much wrong and negativity

Enough for the whole world to see

I know there’s still possibility

You raise a little kid he turns out bold

It may be from the way you treat him cold

I guess that’s how the story’s told

I don’t wanna be the one

To tell you how it’s gotta be Living is the only way

You ever really gonna see

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn

Large, if large is how ya living

Why you’re living large, are you taking what is given?

To you, in the form of true experience

'Cause if you’re not, your whole life could be spent

Doing time for a crime you say you didn’t even do The only fool that you’re fooing is the fool that is you

Didn’t even turn around to check and see if your bridge is Burning, I guess it’s true that what they say

That without living there’s no learning

Mary, Mary, Mary, it’s quite contrary

Yo, how did you earn your dough?

You didn’t finish school you ain’t got not job

But to the human eye it’s pretty simple

You always talking about what you want is respect

But never thinking about the little boy you neglect

Spending his formative years in a living hell

Not realizing one day he’d end up in jail

Now on the other hand, there’s Dan, my man

Who planned a scam and I’ll be damned

It was the ultimate film flam

He was saying that it was easy as pie

But little, did Dan know he was about to die?

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

You’ve got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn

You’ve got to live and learn…
