lyrics

What seems like the end
might be the start of something fresh

What seems like a waste of time
might be the best way to spend it

And I wait for the day
when my back won’t ache with every step
(Oh when will it come)

Every consequence is a lesson to learn
a lesson to respect
(I have learned so much)

There’s games played called relationships
and games can start and end
(Oh it’s all right in the end)

And it’s a stupid state of affairs
when you can break rules others aren’t allowed to bend

Oooooh I was a fool
I was a fool

I was a fool who closed my books when I’m not forced to learn
No I’m not forced to learn

I was a fool who packed my bags when times get tough I hit the road

I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool

I’ve learned every consequence can be a lesson to learn

I’ve learned I’ve learned I’ve learned
I’ve learned I’ve got to unlearn

I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn

I’ve learned I’ve got to unlearn

I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve learned I’ve got to unlearn
