Lyrics
0:06Boys like you were born to waste
0:09You never listen to what I say
0:12And if you think you're here to mess around
0:13You're making a big mistake
0:15You can take the hard way
0:18(You can take the hard way)
0:21No matter what I do or say
0:24You're much too dumb to educate
0:27One day life's going to come around and
0:29Slap you in the face
0:30You can run back the hard way
0:33(You can take the hard way)
0:35Well you do it your way
0:37And I'll do it my way
0:39And I'll be the one to survive
0:41Because with no foundation or qualifications
0:45There's no way that you can get by
0:47No no way you can get by
0:52Why don't you take the easy way
0:55Why don't you co-operate
0:58Don't just sit there and masturbate
1:01You're winding up illiterate?
1:03Come on now
1:16Hey you think that life's a vacation you've no inclination
1:19To dust away the cobwebs of your mind
1:22Now it's time for confrontation and I'm tired of being patient
1:25So I've got to be cruel to be kind
1:27Yes I've got to be cruel to be kind
1:32Wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
1:35When you're only fit to sweep the streets
1:38Your intellect is such that it requires a killer's touch
1:41So I'm going to play it your way we'll take the hard way
1:46Gonna take the hard way
1:47You can take the hard way
1:49Come on now
Boys like you were born to waste You never listen to what I say And if you think you're here to mess around You're making a big mistake 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) Well you do it your way And I'll do it my way And I'll be the one to survive Because with no foundation or qualifications There's no way that you can get by No no 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 masturbate You're winding up illiterate? Come on 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 Wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat 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 Come on now
