Joe Public - Live And Learn (1992)

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...
