You’ll never learn
You who cheat
You who lie
Now don’t you hate you in the morning
You’ll never learn
You be heat
You be ice
You’re getting love mixed up with hunger
You’ll never learn
No you’ll never…

You could change
You’re not too far gone
Life’s such a pain – ain’t it –
No dying’s no fun
Mistakes you’ve made
You’ll make again and again
No you’ll never learn
No No I know you’re never never gonna learn
No no never
Razor queen
Suicide
You’ve got some twisted medication
And you’ll never learn –
And the scars from the trial
Are just another indication
That you’ll never learn
No No know you’re never never gonna learn
No No never
