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
Hey 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
There's always something new you can cry about
Stand up for yourself you gotta tough it out
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
'Cos where there's a will there's a way
We all know only the strong survive
You gotta be tough just to stay alive
There's always something new you can cry about
Stand up for yourself you gotta tough it out
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, gonna 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
When your back's against the wall
You gotta be strong, you gotta stand tall
Fight fire with fire
Well there's always something new you can cry
about
Stand up for yourself you gotta tough it out
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, gonna kill your pride
Tough it out
You need some sanctuary, some place to hide
When your back's against the wall
Tough it out
Sleeping on a bed of roses
Tough it out
Eatin' with a silver spoon
Looking down from your ivory tower
You thought the blood in your veins was blue
Tough it out
Life is there for the takin'
Tough it out
Just a game that you play
You gotta fight for what you believe in
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
Oh yeah
