Karaoké Live And Learn Joe Public

You got to live and learn you got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn you got to live and learn

Here's a little story about life everybody that lives surely dies

A lot of people ask the questions 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 wanna be the one to tell you how it's gonna be

Livin' is the only way you're ever really gonna see

You got to live and learn you got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn you got to live and learn

Ah yeah yo check it

Kick this one for the public now break it down

There's so much wrong and negativity

Enough for the whole world to see

I know there's still the 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 wanna be the one to tell you how it's gotta be

Livin' is the only way you're ever really gonna see

You got to live and learn you got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn you got to live and learn

You got to live and learn you got to live and learn

Before your bridges burn you got to live and learn

Large if large is how you're livin'

Why you livin' large are you takin' what is given to you

In the form of true experience 'cos if you're not your whole life will be spent

Doin' time for a crime you say you didn't even do

The only fool that you're foolin' is the fool that is you

Didn't even turn around or check to see the bridge is burnin'

Guess it's true that what they say

That without livin' there's no learnin'

Ah yeah

And this is from the J the O and the E

Mary Mary Mary is quite contrary

Yo how did you earn your dough

You didn't finish school you ain't got no job

But to the human eye it's pretty simple

You're always talkin' 'bout what you want is respect

But never think about the little boy you neglect

Spendin' his formative years in a livin' hell

Not realizing one day he'd end up in jail

And on the other hand is Dan my man who planned

A scam and I mean damn it was the ultimate flim flam

He was sayin' that it was easy as pie

But little did Dan know he was about to die

I wanna be the one to tell you how it's gonna be

Livin' is the only way that you're ever gonna see

I wanna be the one to tell you how it's gonna be
