school of hard knocks

Van Morrison

I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Tell me who s gonna patronise me now?
They ve brainwashed the suckers again
and perpetrated the myth
Propaganda far and wide

No wavelength, no mileage
No current currency
No answers - just silence
And nothing is what it s supposed to be

I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Tell me who s gonna patronise me now?
I got shipwrecked and got stranded on the rocks
Everybody left me high and dry

I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Who s gonna patronise me now?
Brainwashed the suckers again and perpetrated the myth
Propaganda far and wide

No wavelength, no mileage
There s no current currency
No answers - only silence
Nothing looks like it s meant to be

I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Who s gonna patronise me now?
Just got shipwrecked and stranded on the rocks
And it left me high and dry

And it s left me sitting high and dry
And it left me sitting high and dry
And it left me sitting high and dry
