Lyrics

Verse 1:
Woke up with my head on fire and the sunlight hurt my eyes,
I knew I missed the moment,
I missed the element of surprise,
No time for a flanking maneuver, this has got to be a frontal assault,
But the bastards have me in the cross-hairs, and I know that it's all my fault,
I falesly implied superior force,
Now I guess they're gonna' call my bluff,
If you're gonna' be dumb, You've gotta' be tough.

Verse 2:
Well you think I'd figure it out by now, that I
Finally learned my lesson,
I hit the wall a time or two and it hurt,
I don't mind confessin',
So you telly yourself that right makes might,
Life's only for the strong, It all evens out eventually, But what if you've been wrong,
The wheel keeps spinning round and round and the roads been mighty rough,
If you're gonna' be dumb, You've gotta' be tough.

Bridge:
Good guys win, I know they do, they have to sometimes, don't they?
That's the law of averages, and it's gotta' stand for something.
But if good things come to those who wait, I guess all that's left for me is to be the
Last man standing, and
Hope that it's enough,
'Cause if you're gonna' be dumb,
You've gotta' be tough.

Verse 3:
What goes around comes around,
At least that's what I've heard,
But what's comming around now is news to me and it
Strikes me as a absurd,
To keep standing on this lonesome dock with my ship stil lost at sea,
But I guess I'll keep on waiting, I've got no place left to be,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Hallelujiah, and all that stuff,
If your'e gonna' be dumb, you've gotta be tough.
