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.
Yeah, 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
The Kinks are a British rock band formed in London in 1963 and active until 1996. Considered one of the most influential groups of the British Invasion, they left an indelible mark on rock music with their characteristic sound that blended catchy pop melodies with introspective and often satirical lyrics. The original lineup included Ray Davies (vocals, guitar), Dave Davies (guitar), Mick Avory (drums) and Pete Quaife (bass). Quaife was replaced by John Dalton in 1966 and then permanently in 1969. The Kinks released a vast discography of successful albums, including "Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society" (1969), "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround" (1970) and "Sleepwalker" (1973). Their most famous songs include "You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night", "Waterloo Sunset", "Lola" and "Days". The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
