Get Tough Songtext
Well I live in the city I've been up, down, But usually I'm drowning in the middle I've seen it all, New York City And if they got it anywhere Then we got it over here, no kidding And in time I've found That you can get nonchalant About whatever comes down With the mobsters and the mayors Buddy-buddy, tight-tight The same damn thing in any alley any night The rich come first and the poor come last The whole world sticks it to the middle class Get tough We're out of Beirut Now we're going into Bosnia We're all over Asia and Europe And we're down in Somalia While back home on the Lower East Side Everybody's on the run There's no place left to hide And in time I've found That you can get nonchalant About whatever comes down There's people starving in an African nation People living in Grand Central Station Family's sleeping in makeshift tents The end of the month and once again I'm sweating rent Get tough Do you think I'm naive Yeah, well maybe Well it's a big world, I'm one guy and I ain't gonna let it drive me crazy Well I shout, just as loud as I can Because I care about Every living boy, girl, woman and man And in time, baby, I've found Get tough
