The Hard Way

Boys like you were born to waste
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think you're here to mess around
You're making a big mistake

'Cos you're gonna find out the hard way
(You can take the hard way)
You can take the hard way
(You can take the hard way)

No matter what I do or say
You're much too dumb to educate
One day life's going to come around and
Slap you in the face

You can run back the hard way
(You can take the hard way)
You can take the hard way

Well, you do it your way
And I'll do it my way
We'll see who's the one to survive

Because with no foundation or qualifications
There's no way that you can get by
No, no there's way you can get by

Why don't you take the easy way?
Why don't you co-operate?
Don't just sit there and vegetate
You're winding up illiterate?
C'mon now

Hey, you think that life's a vacation, you've no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind
Now it's time for confrontation and I'm tired of being patient
So I've got to be cruel to be kind
Yes, I've got to be cruel to be kind

I'm wasting all my patience because you're too indiscreet
When you're only fit to sweep the streets
Your intellect is such, that it requires a killer's touch
So I'm going to play it your way, we'll take the hard way

Gonna take the hard way
You can take the hard way
Gonna take the hard way
You can take the hard way
C'mon now
