Mister Macho loves his women with such dedication
Second only to his car, that drives as fast as light
On the highway bad jet fighters come from all directions
Shooting verbal missiles find their targets right on sight
Right on sight

In the office things get rough as action is diminished
Staring at a paper he is lost inside his head
Dreaming of a battlefield with guns and ammunition
All around the bodies of the wounded and the dead
And the dead

'Cause he's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
Oh he's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire

Now it's time for football and a bout with heavy drinking
Holding so much liquor makes him feel like a man
Drift... he drifts out on the sea in a ship that's slowly sinking
He quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had
He once had

Tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails

Oh he's such a live wire
(Walking 'round and 'round in circles)
(Waking up in a cold sweat)
He's such a live wire
(Falling down the stairway)
(And the TV dinner's not done yet)
He's such a live wire
(Smash a window, crash a car)
(And buy a pair of leather shoes)
He's such a live wire
(Take a sweetheart to a movie)
(Cash a check and pay your dues)
'Cause he's...

'Cause he's
Walking 'round and round in circles
Waking up in a cold sweat
Walking down the stairway
And the TV dinner's not done yet
Smash a window, crash a car
And buy a pair of leather shoes
Take the sweatheart to a movie
Cash a check and pay some dues

Oh he's such a live wire
(Walking 'round and 'round in circles)
(Waking up in a cold sweat)
He's such a live wire
(Falling down the stairway)
(And the TV dinner's not done yet)
He's such a live wire

(And buy a pair of leather shoes)
He's such a live wire
(Take a sweetheart to a movie)
(Cash a check and pay some dues)

Tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails

Oh he's such a live wire
(Walking 'round and 'round in circles)
(Waking up in a cold sweat)
He's such a live wire
(Falling down the stairways)
(And the TV dinner's not done yet)
He's such a live wire
(Smash a window, crash a car)
(And buy a pair of leather shoes)
He's such a live wire
