They're So Tough Lyrics - 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
