Lyrics

Life Lessons Learned the Hard Way

[Intro]

Life lessons learned the hard way

[Verse 1]

Four people waited in a random white unmarked van

Parked outside your hotel high rise garage

To use a tire iron to break the bones inside your legs

Too bad you never came outside, that's all right

'Cause in the end you'll get wrecked

Yeah, in the end, you'll get wrecked

[Refrain]

I heard a little girl killed herself today

That blood's on your hands (It's on your hands)

When everyone knows your face, nothing's safe

You'll live your life as a fucking target

[Outro]

You've earned my disgust

You've earned my disgust
