It Must be Tough
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe you will and maybe you won't
Maybe you care, but hey I'd like to think you don't
Maybe you're right and maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you stay up worrying about it all night long?
Danger, there's a man inside
Watch out, what are you trying to hide?
Oh God it must be tough
Danger, there's a man inside
Screaming like his heart's on fire
Oh God it must be tough
When you've taken all that you can get
and you've still not had enough
When you've taken all your medicine
but you're still feeling rough
How to find the time in one short life
to deal with all this fuss?
Chorus:
It must be tough, tough, tough
It must be tough, tough, yeah, yeah
It must be tough
Maybe it's hard for you to see
Maybe it's hard, but hey, that's how it's meant to be
never get nowhere on teh fence
Maybe we all need something we can push against
Danger, there's a man inside
Watch out, qhat you trying to hide?
Oh God it must be tough
Danger, there's a man inside
Screaming like his brain's on fire
Oh God it must be tough
When you've had as much as you can take
but you still not had enough
When you've taken all your medicine
but you're still feeling rough
Chorus:
Oh, it's as hard as it is true
When it comes to you too easy
it goes away the same way too
And it must be tough, but you know what you have to do
'Cos it's a long long way to Heaven
And you know you'll only get there
if you have the funk and nerve to push on through
It's name
Weh deh deh deh deh deh deh deng deng deng ay

screaming like his sould's on fire
Oh God it must be tough
Brrrr
When you've taken all that you can get
and you've still not had enough
When you've taken all your medicine
