Artist(Band):Bob Marley |

|
|
(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 (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 (na-na, na-na!): |
|
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors! |
|
Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den |
|
(Black survivors) 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 |
|
(Black survivors), |
|
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-na, na-na-na na! |
|
We're the survivors |
|
In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival), |
|
Scientific atrocity (survivors), |
|
Atomic misphilosophy (Black survival), |
|
Nuclear misenergy (survivors): |
|
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival). |
|
|
|
Together now: |
|
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na na-na na na! (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 (survivors) |
|
in his own yountry (Black survival). |
|
Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors). |
|
Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors). |
|
We got to survive, y'all! (survivors) - /fadeout/ |

But to live as one equal in the eyes |

Of the Almighty.] |
