How can you be sitting there |
|
Telling me that you care |
|
That you care |
|
When everytime I look around |
|
The people suffer in suffering |
|
In everyway. In everywhere |
|
Na-na-na-na-na |
|
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival |
|
I tell you what |
|
Some people got everything |
|
Some poeple 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 survival |
|
Yes we're the survivors like |
|
Daniel out of the lions' den, survivors, survivors |
|
So my brethren, my sisthren |
|
Which way will we choose |
|
We better hurry, oh hurry woe now |
|
'Cause we got no time to lose |
|
Some people got facts and claims |
|
Some peole got pride and shame |
|
Some people got the plots and schemes |
|
Some people got no aim it seems |
|
Na-na-na-na-na |
|
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival |
|
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival |
|
We're the survivors like shadrach, meshach and abednego |
|
Thrown in the fire but never get burn |
|
So my brethren, my sisthren |
|
The preaching and talking is done |
|
We gotta live up woe now, woe 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 |
|
We're the survivors; a black survival |
|
In this age of technological inhumanity |
|
We're the survivors black survival |
|
Scientific atrocity, we're the survivors |
|
Atomic mis-philosophy, we're the survivors |
|
Nuclear mis-energy |
|
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity |
|
All together now we're the survivors |
|
Yes, the black survival |
|
A good man is never honoured in his own country, black survival |
|
Nothing change, nothing strange |
|
Nothing change, nothing strange |
|
We got to survive, we've got to survive |
|
But to live as one equal in the eyes of the almighty |
