Lessons from Lyrics #2

The second set of lyrics in this series are from The Raconteurs.

"You want everything to be just like
The stories that you read but never write
You gotta learn to live and live and learn
You gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned"

Lessons from Lyrics #1

I'm going to start a new series here, one of lyrics. I'll highlight those that have made me stop and reflect. I hope you'll take a moment to do the same. If you have particular lyrics that you'd like to share with me, comment away.

Today's lyrics are from the The Flaming Lips.

"You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round"

Do you Realize??
