Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tough times demand tough talk
Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs
Tough times demand tough talk
Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs
Demand
[Verse 2]
We can rise and all like empires
Flow in and out like the tide
Be vain and smart, humble and dumb
We can hit and miss like pride
Just like pride
[Verse 3]
We can circle around like hurricanes
Dance and dream like lovers
Attack the day like birds of prey
Or scavengers undercover
Undercover
[Verse 4]
Look in to the eye of the storm
Look out for the force without form
Look around at the sight and sound
Look in, look out, look around
[Verse 5]
Tough times demand tough talk
Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs
Demand
[Verse 6]
We can move with savage grace
To the rhythms of the night
Cool and remote like dancin' girls
In the heat of the beat and the lights
And the lights
[Verse 7]
We can wear the rose of romance
An air of joie de vivre
Too tender hearts upon our sleeves
Or skin as thick as thieves
Thick as thieves
[Verse 8]
Look in to the eye of the storm
Look out for the force without form
Look around at the sight and sound
Look in, look out, look around
[Verse 9]
Tough times demand tough talk
Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs
Demand
[Verse 10]
Look in to the eye of the storm
Look out for the force without form
Look around at the sight and sound
Look in, look the storm in the eye
Look out to the sea and the sky
Look around at the sight and sound
Look in, look out, look around
[Verse 11]
Tough times demand tough hearts
Tough times demand tough talk
