They`re So Tough — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

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
