Lyrics The Hard Way - The Kinks
Boys
like
you
were
born
to
waste
You
never
listen
to
a
word
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
gonna
find
out
the
hard
way
No
matter
what
I
do
or
say
You're
much
too
dumb
to
educate
One
day
life's
going
to
turn
around
and
slap
you
in
the
face
Then
you're
gonna
find
out
the
hard
way
You'll
take
the
hard
way
Gonna
take
the
hard
way
Well,
you'll
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,
there's
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
vegetate
Do
you
want
to
end
up
illiterate?
You
think
that
life's
a
vacation
And
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
I've
got
to
be
cruel
to
be
kind
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
So
I'm
going
to
play
it
your
way
We'll
take
the
hard
way
Going
to
take
the
hard
way
You
can
take
the
hard
way
Gonna
take
the
hard
way
Gonna
take
the
hard
way
