"We Didn't Learn A Thing" lyrics

"We Didn't Learn A Thing"

What a year it's been
Full of fireworks and flames
I asked the harder questions
But the answers never came

What a time this is
I can't believe the things we say
It's too late to take them back
And we probably meant them anyway

We didn't learn a thing from it
Even got a little worse somehow
It didn't change a thing did it
No, just look at where the hell we are now
We could've learned that all of our failures are just there to help us win
But we didn't learn a thing

What a day it's been
Time to open something good
Drink away the memories
It shouldn't work but I'm glad it does

What a life it's been
But where did it all go?
All the faded pictures
Of a time I'll never know

We didn't learn a thing from it
Even got a little worse somehow
It didn't change a thing did it
No, just look at where the hell we are now
We could've learned that all of our failures are just there to help us win
But we didn't learn a thing
We didn't learn a thing

Kicking and screaming never listening pointing fingers just as long as we don't have to accept
That we are part of a problem we're too entitled to solve and deserve everything that we're gonna get
All this madness, misplaced anger
Feels like pissing straight into the wind
And we didn't learn a thing
Not a fucking thing!

We didn't learn a thing from it
Even got a little worse somehow
It didn't change a thing did it
No, just look at where the hell we are now
We could've learned that all of our failures are just there to help us win
But we didn't learn a thing
We didn't learn a thing
