Force Ten - Intellectual

[Refrain]

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 undercover, undercover

Look in, to the eye of the storm

Look out, for the force without form

Look around, at the sight and the 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 the sound (Rising, falling at force ten)

Look in, look out, look around (We spin the world and ride the wind)

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 the sound

Look in, look the storm in the eye

Look out, to the sea and the sky

Look around, at the sight and the sound

Look in, look out, look around

Tough times demand tough hearts

Tough times demand tough talk
