The Interrupters - The Hard Way

I learned everything the hard way
I learned everything the hard way
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

The road was rocky but I dug my heels in
'Til blood and concrete had worn right on through my skin
And it would take a special kind of pain
Before I'd ever say
"I learned my lesson, I learned my lesson"

I learned everything the hard way
I learned everything the hard way
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

My every battle scar could tell a different tale
Of all the times I'd go all in and I would fail
And I know the house, it always wins
And jokers never say
"I learned my lesson, I learned my lesson"

I learned everything the hard way
I learned everything the hard way
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

They like to say, "I told you so" (told you so)
But I know things, they still don't know
So many lessons I forget (lessons I forget)
So many nights that I regret

I learned everything the hard way
(I learned my lesson)
I learned everything the hard way
(I learned my lesson)
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

I never listened and I still don't today (one, two, three, four)
I learn everything the hard way
