survival

Lyrics

(ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!, ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!), yeah, yeah, yeah!, how can you be sitting there, telling me that you care -, that you care?, when every time i look around, the people suffer in the suffering, in everyway, in everywhere. say: na-na-na-na-na: we're the survivors, yes: the black survivors!, i tell you what: some people got everything;, some people got nothing;, some people got hopes and dreams;, some people got ways and means. na-na-na-na-na: we're the survivors, yes: the black survivors!, yes, we're the survivors, like daniel out of the lions' den, survivors, survivors!, so i idren, i sistren, a-which way will we choose?, we better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!, 'cause we got no time to lose. some people got facts and claims;, some people got pride and shame;, some people got the plots and schemes;, some people got no aim it seems!, na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na!, we're the survivors, yes: the black survivors!, tell you what: we're the survivors, yeah! - the black survivors, yeah!, we're the survivors, like shadrach, meshach and abednego, thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn. so i idren, i-sistren, the preaching and talkin' is done;, we've gotta live up, wo now, wo now! -, 'cause the father's time has come. some people put the best outside;, some people keep the best inside;, some people can't stand up strong;, some people won't wait for long. na-na-na, na-na-na na!, we're the survivors, in this age of technological inhumanity, scientific atrocity, atomic misphilosophy, nuclear misenergy: it's a world that forces lifelong insecurity. together now: na na-na na na!, we're the survivors, yeah!, we're the survivors!, yes, the black survivors!, we're the survivors: a good man is never honoured, in his own yountry. nothing change, nothing strange. nothing change, nothing strange. we got to survive, y'all! -
