I learned half of what I know
From the worst teacher goin'
Experience (Experience)
That school's too slow and I know folks
Smart ones from the city
Who gone and made a life's work
A decade later, they still doin' shitty
Experience (Experience, that's experience for ya)

Moves kinda slow (Experience)
You get off the bus the same guy that got on twenty years ago
And as I feel it, is it art or imitating?
'Cause if it's art
All my life's been fingerpainting

Had my best luck though with a big easel
I'd rather be an art project, babe
Than just weasel out with wearin' one
And come to suspect the whole experience (Experience)
(Experience)

Experience, I think I understand
Is it like doin' ninety, her top's down and wind's in your beer can?
That's its moment there on a bungee jump
You're done goin' down, you're comin' up now
I think I felt that before (Experience)
It was, it was kind of an experience (Experience)

One shining moment lost in time
The one with the showroom shine
Well, I'm sorry, girl, yes, I'm sorry, boy
But I feel that way all the time, ooh

'Til I finally made it
Life was kinda hit or miss
But after I made it
Life was "Take a hit of this"
And I'd love to talk philosophy
But I've gotta take a piss
Man, that philosophy runs right through ya
Take it from me, baby
I've got experience (Experience)
(Experience)
Alright (Experience)
(Experience)

Experience, do I understand?
Like doin' a hundred, her top's down, the wind's in your beer can
That single moment there on a bungee jump
You're done goin' down, you're comin' up now
Gee, don't look down
Ooh

That special moment lost in time
The one with the showroom shine
Well, I'm sorry, babe, yes, I'm sorry, babe
But I feel that way all the time, ooh
