Lyrics of Barbarism Begins At Home by The Smiths
verse
Unruly boys who will not grow up
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls who will not settle down
They must be taken in hand
chorus
A crack on the head
Is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head
Is what you get for asking
verse
Unruly boys who will not grow up
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls who will not settle down
They must be taken in hand
chorus
A crack on the head
Is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head
Is what you get for asking
chorus
No, a crack on the head
Is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head
Is what you get for asking
verse
A crack on the head
Is just what you get
Why? Because of who you are
And a crack on the head
Is just what you get
Why? because of what you are
bridge
A crack on the head
Because of
Those things you said
Things you said
The things you did
verse
Unruly boys who will not grow
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls who will not grow
They must be taken in hand
