Hard Way Lyrics - ...but The Little Girls Understand - The Knack

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 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 

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
