You Learn

I—recommend gettin’ your heart trampled on

To anyone, yeah

I—recommend walkin’ around naked in your livin’ room

Yeah

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)

It feels so good (swimmin’ in your stomach!)

Wait until the dust se-e-e-ttles

You’ll live, you’ll learn

You’ll love, you’ll learn

You’ll cry, you’ll learn

You’ll lo-o-ose, you’ll learn

You’ll bleed, you’ll learn

You screed, you’ll le-e-arn…

I—recommend bitin’ off more than you can chew

To anyone, yeah

(“I certainly do”)

I—recommend skinnin’ Jim in your mouth at any time

Feel free!

Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)

Hold it up (to the Ray)

You wait and you see when the smo-o-oke clears

You’ll live, you’ll learn

You’ll love, you’ll learn

You’ll cry, you’ll learn

You’ll lo-o-ose, you’ll learn

You’ll bleed, you’ll learn

You screed, you’ll le-e-arn…

High… higher!

High… higher!

High… hi, yah!

Wear it out…

(The way a three-year-old would do)

M-e-elt it down…

(You’re goin’ to have to e-ven-tu-al-ly anyway)

The fire trucks are

Comin’ up around the bend…

You’ll live, you’ll learn

You’ll love, you’ll learn

You’ll cry, you’ll learn

You’ll lo-o-ose, you’ll learn

You’ll bleed, you’ll learn

You screed, you’ll le-e-arn…

If you grieve? It’ll burn

You choke? Hope you learn

You laugh? You’ll learn

You cho-oo-ose, you’ll learn

You pray, you’ll learn

You ask, you’ll ask

You live, you learn…
