If You're Gonna Be Dumb...

If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough

by KarenO

lyrics by Roger Allan Wade

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 drenched my brain with Rot-Gut whiskey
Till my pain was chicken fried
And I had dudes with badges frisk me
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 knife in the drawer
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 up
I’ve been left and right and wrong
Yeah, I’ve walked the walk and I’ve run my mouth
On the short end for too long

If they gave medals for honky tonk fuckin wars
Hell, I’d put mine in my chest of drawers
With my irs bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

(Everybody!)
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
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
(one more time)
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

This song helped me get through many tough times. And it's fun to sing along to.

So...

...one more revision and off to register it I go.

No clue what I'm talking about? That's fine. I have no clue what I'm doing so that evens it all out.

Y ahora: un momento poético

Basura por el flanco derecho...

Mierda por el flanco izquierdo...

La madre por el centro...

rayooosss y truenoooossss....
