Barbarism Begins At Home

Johnny Marr / Steven Morrissey

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

A crack on the head
Is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head
Is what you get for asking

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

A crack on the head
Is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head
Is what you get for asking

A crack on the head
Is what you get for not asking
And a crack on the head
Is what you get for asking

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

A crack on the head
Because of
The things you said, or didn't say
The things you did

Unruly boys
Who will not grow up
Must be taken in hand
Unruly girls
Who will not grow up
They must be taken in hand
