[Verse 1]
Boys like you were born to waste
You never listen to a word I say
If you think you're here to mess around
You're making a big mistake
You're gonna find out the hard way
Gonna find out the hard way

[Verse 2]
No matter what I do or say
You're much too dumb to educate
One day life's gonna turn around
And slap you in the face
You're gonna find out the hard way
You can take the hard way

[Verse 3]
Well, you do it your way
And I'll do it my way
And we'll see who's the one to survive
You'll find that with no foundation or qualifications
There's no way that you can get by
No! No way you can get by -

[Verse 4]
Why don't you take the easy way
Why don't you cooperate
Don't just sit there and masturbate
You wanna end up illiterate
Come on now!
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
You think life's a vacation and you've no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind
Now it's time for confrontation
I'm tired of being patient
So I've got to be cruel to be kind
Yeah! I've got to be cruel to be kind -

[Verse 6]
I'm 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

[Outro]
I'm gonna play it your way
You're gonna take the hard way
I'm gonna take the hard way
I'm gonna take the hard way
(Hey Hey Hey)

(Hey Hey Hey)
(Hey Hey Hey)
Come on now!

[Instrumental]
