| Cry Tough |
|
This song was POISON's first single. The lyrics were written as a creed for us to believe in so we would not loose hope during the bleak times in the early days. In April of '86, at the time this song was released, Music Connection Magazine voted POISON "L.A.'s Most Popular and Best Live Band." The video was filmed over two nights at The Palace in Hollywood, CA. This video captures the unbelieveable energy, theatrics, stage diving antics, attitude and vibe that only POISON can deliver. I'll never forget the excitement Bobby, Rikki, C.C. and I felt as we arrived at The Palace in Bobby's sky-blue Chevette and read "POISON- SOLD OUT" on the marquee. The band felt larger than life, a feeling that could never be duplicated. P.S. Not long after the show, the Chevette was impounded and the single bombed- but that is a whole other story.

Remember the nights we sat,
and talked about all our dreams.
Well little did we know then,
they were more distant than they seemed.
Well I knew it,
you knew it too,
The things we'd go through.
We knew the things we had to do,
to make it, baby.
Chorus:
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen.
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true.
Life ain't no easy ride,
At least that's what I am told.
Sometimes the rainbow baby,
is better than the pot of gold.
You've got to stick it out,
whether you're wrong or right.
And you can't give in without a fight,
to make it baby.
Chorus
You gotta aim high, baby
whether you lose or win.
And when you get to the top
You gotta get off or go right back down again.
solo, chorus out
