Once when I was a child
I was going wild
'Cause my momma was so sad
She taught me what's worthwhile
Killed herself in style
Peace don't come so easily

One thing you've got to learn:
You'll never be the same as the child you once were
Life brings a lot of pain, It bends you out of shape;
Teaching you the things that are hard lessons learned

Faced with love, we take
I'm giving it away
Beware of fate
And rules you must obey
I'm not in the game
I'm playing anyway
Losing every day

Hey kid
Get out of the road
Before I run you down
Where'd you learn to lie like that?
Go on skipping down the stairs
And keeping to the code, taking every bullshit load

Chorus
