lirik lagu the immaculate crows - school of hard knocks

verse

there’s nothing you can tell me
that i don’t already know
at least things that count in life
buried deep in your soul

verse

you can say i’m a beggar
a thief or a fool
but i raised myself somehow
in a different kind of school

verse

i was driven to despair
by violence and poverty
my friends were endless shadows
surrounding me

verse

don’t speak unless spoken to
your words don’t matter
and neither
do you
verse

i was taught this lesson
too well
in this school

verse

in the school
of hard knocks
where no~one
listens to you

verse

i was beaten down by bullies
pimps and dealers too
abandoned by my father
and mother too

verse

brought up by the state
in a concrete zoo
that became a prison
for my mind too
verse

somehow i survived
with others just like me
the ones you don’t really
want to see

verse

the ones that survived
the lessons taught to me
in the school of hard knocks
i was nearly brought to my knees

chorus

in the school of hard knocks
no one knows your name
no one cares to see you
or play your game

where i was taught to hide
where i was taught to run
taught to survive
look after number one
fadeout

taught to survive
look after number one
