[Verse 1]
There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth
I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out
Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist
Because there's no ventilation on a critical list
Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist
Strict time
[Chorus]
Toughen up, toughen up
Keep your lip buttoned up
Strict time
[Verse 2]
Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl
And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl
(Strict time)
Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial
The courting cold wars weekend witch trial
(Strict time)
All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid
The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid because it's strict time
(Strict time)
[Chorus]
Toughen up, toughen up
Keep your lip buttoned up
Strict time
There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth
I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out
Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist
Because there's no ventilation on a critical list
Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist
Strict time
[Chorus]
Toughen up, toughen up
Keep your lip buttoned up
Strict time
[Verse 2]
Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl
And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl
(Strict time)
Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial
The courting cold wars weekend witch trial
(Strict time)
All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid
The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid because it's strict time
(Strict time)
[Chorus]
Toughen up, toughen up
Keep your lip buttoned up
Strict time
