If You're Gonna Be Dumb Lyrics - Smut Peddlers

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

I drench my pain with rot-gut whiskey 

Til my brain was chicken fried 

And I had dudes with badges frisk me 

To teach me how to swallow pride 

I took advice no fool would take 

I got some habits I can't shake 

I ain't the sharpest two one hundred in the sack but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

That's the way it is in life and love 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

I've been up and down and down and out 

I've been strung out like a dog 

I walk the yard and I run my mouth 

Been on that short end for too long 

But if they gave medals for needle tracks 

Fuck I'd keep mine in my outfit sack 

With my rehab bills and parole intructions and all of that stuff 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

I ain't the sharpest syringe in the sock but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you overdose you gotta get back up 

That's the way it is with drink and drugs 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you do too much you gotta get back up 

I ain't the smoothest piece in the kit but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

I ain't the sharpest syringe in the sock but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

I ain't the smoothest rig in the kit but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

I ain't the sharpest rig in the ten pack but I know enough... to know 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough 

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up 

That's the way it is with drink and drugs 

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
