"Every Story's Got A Lesson" is a minor song in Ride the Cyclone. It is sung by Ocean after "Noel's Lament", expressing Ocean's belief that every story has a lesson, but Noel's did not.
Lyrics[]
Ocean [spoken]:
Noel didn’t even talk about anything real! It was just a song about him wanting to be a sex worker in the old-fashioned days! What is even the moral in his song anyway? What does it teach you? What’s the lesson?
Karnak [spoken]:
Not every story has a lesson, Ocean.
Ocean:
NOOOOOOO
Every story
Has a lesson!
Every story-
[Whistling]
Every story's got a lesson
A simple moral to be told
Although a tale may twist and turn
Constance/Jane/Ricky/Mischa:
There's always something you can learn
Ocean:
A nugget of wisdom, solid gold!
Constance/Jane/Ricky/Mischa:
Solid gold!
