Get Tough

Lyrics

Don't talk to me about living the dream I keep on dreaming, but I'm not sleeping sound Don't talk to me about living on handouts When you're living on hand-be-downs I feel like I must be losing my grip Clinging to memories, but trying to be hip All the other ways I should've gone instead I could be a lawyer or a doctor or dead It's a long time living Long before you're living it up And every chance I'm given I've thought about giving it up There are bills to be paid There is love to be made There are trеacherous waters That we all must wadе And you can beg on your hands and knees But it isn't enough You've got to get tough Don't talk to me about beating the odds I'm only standing while the world beats me down Don't talk to me about rising above When you run with the underground I feel like I must be losing my mind Opening windows, closing the blinds All the other ways I should've gone instead No matter where I go I can't get out of my head It's a long time living Long before you're living it up And every chance I'm given I've thought about giving it up There are bills to be paid There is love to be made There are treacherous waters That we all must wade And you can beg for mercy, please But it isn't enough You've got to get tough And just a little bit stronger And just a little bit wiser For just a little bit longer We'll get a little bit higher
