Smut Peddlers - If You're Gonna Be Dumb [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

I drench my pain with rot-gut whiskey
Til my brain was chicken fried
And I had dudes with badges frisk me
To teach me how to swallow pride
I took advice no fool would take
I got some habits I can't shake
I ain't the sharpest two one hundred in the sack but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
That's the way it is in life and love
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

I've been up and down and down and out
I've been strung out like a dog
I walk the yard and I run my mouth
Been on that short end for too long
But if they gave medals for needle tracks
Fuck I'd keep mine in my outfit sack
With my rehab bills and parole intructions and all of that stuff
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest syringe in the sock but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you overdose you gotta get back up
That's the way it is with drink and drugs
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
If you do too much you gotta get back up
I ain't the smoothest piece in the kit but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest syringe in the sock but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the smoothest rig in the kit but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest rig in the ten pack but I know enough... to know
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
That's the way it is with drink and drugs
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
