 JOHN MELLENCAMP - They´re So Tough Lyrics

They´re 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 we´re stupid
That we got no sense at all
They´ll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all

CHORUS:
g24b8229.2015125cbb17
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 walk 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 getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then

CHORUS:
g24b8229.2015125cbb17
No, no, no, I don´t believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I don´t believe it has to be this way

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:
g24b8229.2015125cbb17
No, no, no, I don´t believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I don´t believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I don´t believe it has to be this way

They´re so tough

They are so tough
