Mr. Macho loves his women with such dedication 
Second only to his car that drives as fast as light 
On a highway bad jet fighters come from all directions 
Shooting verbal missiles, find their target 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 

(Chorus) 
'Cause he's tough as nails 
He's tough as nails 
He's tough as nails 
He's tough as nails 

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 
As he drifts out on the sea on a ship that's slowly 
sinking 
Quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had, he 
once had 

(Repeat Chorus) 

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

He's such a live wire 
He's such a live wire 
He's such a live wire 
He's such a live wire 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Walking round and round in circles...
