Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

School of Hard Knocks

I was educated by the school of hard knocks

Tell me who's gonna patronize 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 patronize 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 patronize 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 patronize 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
