Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Wake up for the morning commute
In a sea of sweaty bodies in your best gimp suit
Take your sertraline and your booze
Hijack a Boeing 737 and get on the news
You're like thoroughbred fed full of olive bread
Waiting to make love again, just sometime soon
Oh you
You look defeated
God! Babe, did you see it?
There's a grown man crying in his secondhand Fiat
[PreChorus]
And he told me
He told me
He told me to my face
[Chorus]
It's tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough
It's getting
Tough
[Verse 2]
He comes alive in a bathroom stall
With a big tank of propane, he makes big business calls
Oh, Lord! He's not a saviour, but he says it as it is
And he wrestles alligators and he sells them for their skin
Oh, with a yin yang tattoo above his crotch
He took mushrooms out in Ko Tao to figure out who he was
And, no, he isn't Jesus
He's far from the messiah
But I've seen him sniff a large amount of horse tranquilisers
[Chorus]
It's tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough
It's getting tough
[Chorus]
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough
It's getting pretty damn tough
[Bridge]
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going to the top
I'm going to the top, I'm going
'Cause it's
[Chorus]
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough
It's getting tough
[Chorus]
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough at the top, tough, tough
Tough at the top, tough
It's getting pretty damn tough
