Never Learned Anything (Poem with Music)

Lyrics:br br Never Learned Anythingbr br He was always the screwup and his parents were wiping their handsbr For the screwup his respectable parents were always wiping their handsbr They didn’t know what to do with him and let him make his own mistakesbr The infinite gap between them constantly grows and expandsbr He never learned anything and didn’t understand any commandsbr br He partied on the street and could be heard yellingbr The foreign city walkers blankly looked at himbr They shake their hands and try to waddle pastbr He calls out to every husband saying take me home Timbr The windows shut up above trying to blockout the criesbr They don’t appreciate that he needs them all to know who he isbr He’s verbally tattooed his name there as if its his eponymbr He never learned anything and was always the loud onebr br Once he took it a little too far and got bookedbr They placed him in a hole and gave him a numberbr The system was molding him into something newbr There’s not much more out there that’s dumberbr If you punch a bag a thousand times you only get a callusbr Repeat the process and be ready for the same resultbr They could only make sure his growth was to encumberbr He never learned anything much less his lessonbr br He came out different the air blew in desperationbr He didn’t know how to be funny any longerbr His tongue went the way of his sobrietybr He was fully hooked up to the city sewer systembr He desperately pleas to the one he called a fishmongerbr They’ve got no way to communicate with himbr And ask him to come back when he feels a little strongerbr He never learned anything not even his placebr br When his parents were asked about him they whisperedbr As if saying it in a hushed tone would keep it quietbr Truth is they’d lost touch and cut him out ofbr Both the will and the family photosbr The thought of their failure caused an internal riotbr Because he’d dosed up just a little too muchbr His heart got too excited at what he’d supplied itbr Dead at twenty-seven he never really learned anythingbr
