lyrics

Some lessons cannae be learned
Some lessons just huffty be earned
The hard way
The hard way

I was walking down the street one day, minding my affairs
Two big guys in suits grabbed me, they took me unawares
They said, “Is your name Harvey?” and I said, “Why naw”
But they huckled me intae a black mariah, and that was all I saw.

They took me to a little room, bright lights all in ma face
Nae urra bugger wis there, so I started checkin out the place
There was a tape machine in the corner, vintage 1973
I recognised it, Binatone, but it wisnae meant for me

Then the public accusator started accusating me
To find out all about my university degree
I told him I didnt huv a degree, it wisnae my direction
He telt me right then I was gaunae get a doing fur spreading the insurrection

Then them cats with the rubber hoses started layin intae me
“You haven’t got the right, you see, to talk cosmology
What do you know about global warming? Precisely zilch
So shut your face, get off your horse and drink your fuckin milk”

They made me sign a paper, a non disclosure pact
So, now when you hear me talking, you know it’s only facts
I follow the science, ignore payola, dinny make a buggerin fuss
I’m part of the herd, don’t rock the boat, dinny pish up the back of the bus

So, follow my advice, learn from my experience
Keep to the straight and narrow, nae pervertions, nae deviance
A Turing bot for the MOD tuned in and stole our numbers
It huzzny got a conscience, and it never, never slumbers

Send the peasants out for more
Ribs and balls
