All The Lessons

(album: Assault & Battery - 1981)

I was a rough boy babe I was a tough boy babe
I really made you bleed
I used you babe and I abused you babe
Now tell me what more do you need
What more do you need

Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win

All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn... burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn... gonna burn 'em

Leave me alone, don't talk to me
'Cause I got nothing to say
Oh, leave me alone don't tell me the rules
'Cause I don't want to play
I don't want to play

Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win

All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn... burn 'em
Ow! Gonna burn!

Don't kiss me babe, don't miss me babe
I won't remember your name
Don't hold me babe I told you babe
For me it's just a game
It's just a game

Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win

All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn... burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn... burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
Gotta burn 'em, yeah!
I'm gonna burn 'em!
