Keep On Learning

A prostitute to your art
In debt before you start
You've made your bed, don't lose your head
Be careful of the sharks
Believe in what you're told
You're worth your weight in gold
Here comes the catch, you're on their patch
Twice over you've been sold
It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
Keep on learning, got to keep on learning
Keep on learning else your fingers get burned
Two years you were the star
Pretty girls and fancy cars
Now moneys gone, she won't hold on
No free beer at the bar
Working for 'Burke & Hare'
It's a business that doesn't care
You've made your bed, don't lose your head
Who said that life was fair?
It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
Keep on learning, got to keep on learning
Keep on learning else your fingers get burned
Believe in what you're told
You're worth your weight in gold
Here comes the catch, you're on their patch
Twice over you've been sold
Working for 'Burke & Hare'
It's a business that doesn't care
You've made your bed, don't lose your head
Who said that life was fair?
It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
It's a long long road could you get back home
Old bridges you are burning
There's time to kill when you pay the bill
'Cos boys must keep on learning
Keep on learning, got to keep on learning
Keep on learning else your fingers get burned
