The Hard Way - Live
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
'Cos you're gonna find out the hard wa
(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
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?
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
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
Gonna take the hard way
You can take the hard way
C'mon now
You never listen to what 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 wa
(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
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?
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
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
Gonna take the hard way
You can take the hard way
C'mon now
