Lyrics

Intro:

I don't want a lot i want just enough

So why has it got to be so damn tough

Livin' on the uptown side of jive

Hustlin' a buck to stay alive

Lookin' for a ten and they give your five

Well it's tough

You talk to the boss the boss is gruff

You ask for a raise and they call your bluff

You may get some but it's never enough

Because it's tough

Strong: like a magnum force

Rough: like a new divorce

Mean: like a three-time loser

Bad: like an l.a. cruiser

Down: like a limousine

Blind: like a submarine

Hard: like cold concrete

Tough: that's the rhythm of the beat

You hit the street and you look for work

You don't want to be some welfare jerk

But i wonder how you get to be captain kirk

It's tough

Now kirk has a ship called the enterprise

He cuts the aliens down to size

But i wonder what he'd do with the uptown guys

They're tough

Tough:

Try to get some cash
