Lyrics

learn

I?ve been hurt before
they have frightened me and fucked up my mind
they've cut my young life short
they have captured me and took all my time

they put you in the same room with children your age
they deny your feelings, you should keep them caged
and you gotta learn

we are truly blessed
education teaches how to behave
your homelife may be a mess
when you're in school you should shut up and be brave

they don't care that even children have minds of their own
they give their same old orders: 'do as you're told and don't moan'
so you gotta learn

learn

I?ve been killed before
they've reshaped me into a civilised guy
'success will come for sure,
just remember that no grown-ups don't cry'

they just talk about the future, today is not real
their words are like religion, that's how they make you feel
and so you gotta learn
you're gonna learn
