Tough Enough
All aboard this one way train
I got a one way ticket
embossed with your name
and written underneath
in black bold letters it reads
destination insane
Well board up your windows
and box all your things
they say a storm is coming through
with some heavy rain
so batten down the hatches
and lock all your latches
and don’t plan on coming back
things are never gonna be the same
Well the sun is about to set
and I swear I can hear the thunder rumbling
I hear the cry of the wolves
come from the wicked woods
and now the darkest clouds you can imagine
are rolling
Oh, we’re in for it now
so blow a kiss goodbye
to your quaint little town
sooner than later its all coming down
so grab a pack of your closest belongings
because we’re shipping out
I’ve seen a rough road
ahead of us
I’ve seen a crooked trail
with hurdles and jumps
but I swear that your gonna survive
If your tough enough
I’ve seen sneaky thieves
and liars and lust
you’ll be hard pressed to meet
a single body you trust
but I swear that your gonna survive
if your tough enough
All aboard, you’ll hear the engineer cry
you better cut your way
to the head of the line
because we’re on a schedule
and we’re pressed for time
you aint gonna wanna miss this ride
All aboard, one last call
hold your composure
dont stumble, dont fall
because this is the best part
the thrill of it all
seeing who can walk the walk
and who was full of talk.
oh we’ll separate the men from the boys
the women from the girls
the music from the noise
all the finely refined machinery
from the low grade,
mass-produced elementary toys
so if your not afraid
that you’ll make the grade
you’ve got what it takes
and you’ll pay your own way
then climb on board my friend
we aint got any more than a second
of time to waste
I’ve seen a rough road
ahead of us
I’ve seen a crooked trail
with hurdles and jumps
but I swear that your gonna survive
If your tough enough
I’ve seen sneaky thieves
and liars and lust
you’ll be hard pressed to meet
a single body you trust
but I swear that your gonna survive
if your tough enough
