Theyre So Tough Lyrics

Artist: John Mellencamp
Album: Whenever We Wanted

Theyre so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
Till we feel no good at all

Then they tell us that were stupid
That we got no sense at all
Theyll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all

CHORUS:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, I dont believe it has to be this way

Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But Ive stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And I aint gonna do it again

Theyd like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
Im not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then

CHORUS:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way

I cant really speak to you
And I dont know about them
They must be out of their minds
Cant read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun dont shine

CHORUS:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way

Theyre so tough

They are so tough
