Force Ten lyrics

Tough times demand tough talk

Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs

Tough times demand tough talk

Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs

Demand ...

We can rise and fall 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

We can circle around like hurricanes

Dance and dream like lovers

Attack the day like birds of prey

Or scavengers under cover, under cover

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

Tough times demand tough talk

Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs

Demand ...

We can move with savage grace

To the rhythms of the night

Cool and remote like dancing girls

In the heat of the beat and the lights

And the lights

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'

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

Tough times demand tough talk

Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs

Demand ...

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

Tough times demand tough hearts

Tough times demand tough talk
