Five Lessons Learned is the fourth full-length album by American punk rock band Swingin' Utters.

This album's title track was used on the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, perhaps making it the band's most widely heard song.

[2] Also, the song "This Bastard's Life" is featured in music video game Rock Band 3.

Five Lessons Learned is mainly an album of short, fast songs in the 'punk revival' style - "I Need Feedback" borrows a riff from The Damned's "Neat Neat Neat" - but there is also a ska-esque song ("Unpopular Again"), and an Irish folk-style song ("Fruitless Fortunes"), hinting at the band's future direction, and that of the side-project, the Filthy Thievin' Bastards.

The outer and inner cover art is by photographer Steve Zeigler [3] and features black-and-white shots involving guns, crime and murder scenes (in one picture, the date "2-14-47" is etched in chalk).
