Tough It Out

You've been sleeping on a bed of roses
Eatin' with a silver spoon
Lookin' down from your ivory tower
You thought the blood in your veins was
blue
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Welcome to the real world baby
Get ready for a big surprise
Throw away those rose-coloured glasses
Girl you better open your eyes
We all know only the strong survive
You gotta be tough just to stay alive
(Gotta be tough)
There's always something new you can cry
about
Stand up for yourself
You gotta tough it out
Chorus
Tough it out
They're out to get you
Trying to wear you down
Tough it out
You need a friend
There's never anyone around
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Tough it out
They'll steal your thunder
Try to kill your pride
Tough it out
You need some sanctuary
Some place to hide
When your back's against the wall
You gotta tough it out
Life is there for the takin'
You gotta choose the game that you play
You gotta fight for what you believe in
'Cause where there's a will there's a way
We all know only the strong survive
You gotta be tough just to stay alive
(Gotta be tough)
There's always something new you can cry
about
Stand up for yourself
You gotta tough it out
Chorus
When your back's against the wall
You gotta be strong
You gotta stand tall
Fight fire with fire
There's always something new you can cry
about
Stand up for yourself
You gotta tough it out
Chorus
Oh yeah
