LyricMeaning

They're So Tough
Mellencamp John Cougar

They're so tough

They like to make us feel little

They like to make us feel small

And keep us down

'Til we feel no good at all

Then they tell us that we're stupid

That we got no sense at all

They'll ke away the spark

Keep us in the dark

Make us feel we have no vision at all

CHORUS

No, no, no, I don't believe it has to be this way

No, I don't believe it has to be this way

Then they tell us to be patient

That our time will come

But I've stood outside their doors

And walked their floors

And I ain't gonna do it again

They'd like to make me their nigger

I say to hell with them

I'm not gettin' down on my knees

And beggin' please

Can you throw me a crumb now and then

CHORUS

I can't really speak to you

And I don't know about them

They must be out of their minds

Can't read between the lines

They can stick it where the sun don't shine

CHORUS

They're so tough

They are so tough
