Theyre So Tough — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

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
