Tough As Nails

[Verse 1]

Mister Macho loves his women

With such dedication

Second only to his car that drives

As fast as light

On a highway, bad jet fighters

Come from all directions

Shooting verbal missiles

Find their target right on sight

Right on sight...

[Verse 2]

In the office, things get rough

As action is diminished

Staring at a paper, he is lost

Inside his head

Dreaming of a battlefield

With guns and ammunition

All around, the bodies

Of the wounded and the dead

And the dead...

[Chorus 1]

'Cause he's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

[Chorus 2]

Well, he's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

[Verse 2]

Now it's time for football

And a bout with heavy drinking

Holding so much liquor

Makes him feel like a man

As he drifts out on the sea

On a ship that's slowly sinking

Quietly salutes himself

And the courage he once had

He once had...

[Chorus 1]

'Cause he's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

[Chorus 2]

Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat

Falling down the stairway

And the TV dinner's not done yet

Smash a window; crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes

Take a sweetheart to a movie

Cash a check and pay some dues

[Chorus 3]

Well, he's such a live wire

(Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat)

He's such a live wire

(Falling down the stairway

And the TV dinner's not done yet)

He's such a live wire

(Smash a window; crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes)

He's such a live wire

(Take a sweetheart to a movie

Cash a check and pay some dues)

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus 1]

'Cause he's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

[Chorus 2]

Well, he's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

[Chorus 3]

He's such a live wire

(Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat)

He's such a live wire

(Falling down the stairway

And the TV dinner's not done yet)

He's such a live wire

(Smash a window; crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes)

He's such a live wire

(Take a sweetheart to a movie

Cash a check and pay some dues)

[Outro]

He's such a live wire

(Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat)

He's such a live wire

(Falling down the stairway

And the TV dinner's not done yet)

He's such a live wire

(Smash a window; crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes...)
