Apache Tears Poet Lyric

Etcetera

They say you learn
By example
They say you learn
By mistakes
They say you learn
By taking chances
It all depends on the chances you take

Etcetera, etcetera, a plethora, a plethora 

They say when your young
You will know
They say when your old
You'll understand
They say when your dead
You will have learned 
That life is what happens
while you make other plans

etcetera, etcetera, a plethora ,a plethora

It's a melancholy 
murder of crows
It's a man's folly 
no one knows
It's a lesson learned 
some can't conceive 
you can crash and burn
Or you can bob and weave

etcetera, etcetera, a plethora, a plethora

[Removed because of valued suggestion]

Apache Tears October 31, 2014 at 12:22 AM Thanks Catie. I know I know the last verse sounds off but it sounds better when sung. It's a song about being in pain and thinking of all the sayings people give you when you are going through a hard time. Hence the being drunk at the end. But I read it again before reading your comment and thought the same thing:) I guess I can get away with it more so musically.
