Learn From Others Mistakes

Here's a story about a man
that did everything wrong, you know
Well, I think it's easier to sing you this song
if a have a name for this feller
Well I think I call him Kent you know
And that's pretty ironic you see
Cause that's the name as Superman is using
Anyway, let me first tell you this

Now if you're wise

Kent was the kind of man
that gave his troubles swimming lessons
instead of drowning them
He was a loner for his whole life
And he thought it was like being in paradise
But I can tell you this cat
was surely in his little private hell
He used to look at his watch all the time
Just to count the minutes
Now tell me, is there a better way
of waisting your time

Kent thought that it was
never to early to give up, you know
Didn't matter what he was doing
He just never finished anything
He was so god damn afraid of getting lost
So he just kept on walking the same old
avenue up and down his whole miserable life
He never understood
that if wanna learn how to sail
you just can't stand at the same spot
all the time, begging the wind
to take you away

Now if you're wise
Learn from others mistakes

Kent never had a friend, you know
And the simple reason
why he couldn't make any friends
was that he couldn't be one himself
And he never fell in love
cause he never learned
how to love himself
He didn't care about his own thoughts
cause he was sure
that they would never come true
He just wanted to be himself, you know
But I tell you
I'm sure that Kent never found out
who he really was
