We’ve been here before this final moment of certainty
It’s not the last time we will have to decide this predicament
We typically get out of it all right but something tells me it’ll be different this time
If I get in one more brawl I’ll be kicked out for certain

There’s a monster within me that desires to break out
From the moral lessons I’ve been taught each and every day
But what should I do if I can’t stop this fight from coming true
Should I let it blaze inside me and let it shred me through?

Chorus
Life is a lesson that I have to take into consideration
If I back down now I’ll be the class coward for sure
And if I stand up and take this fight
I’ll be definitely kicked out by the end of tonight

Is there any way to get out of this mess?
Is there any way to settle an agreement with him?
Should I back down from this gruesome fight?
Should I hold my fist and play this right?

Chorus
Life is a lesson that I have to take into consideration
If I back down now I’ll be the class coward for sure
And if I stand up and take this fight
I’ll be definitely kicked out by the end of tonight

Chorus
Life is a lesson that I have to take into consideration
If I back down now I’ll be the class coward for sure
And if I stand up and take this fight
I’ll be definitely kicked out by the end of tonight

Can I punch until I bleed your tears?
Can I bleed until I hold you close to me?
I am not backing down from this fight
Can I ask a question or two for me?
I don’t want to leave school and you
But I have to beat this kid for me
I know I’m gonna miss you when I’m gone
And your gonna miss me too indeed

Chorus
Life is a lesson that I have to take into consideration
If I back down now I’ll be the class coward for sure
And if I stand up and take this fight
I’ll be definitely kicked out by the end of tonight

Chorus
