Survival
How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care
That you care
When everytime I look around
The people suffer in di sufferin'
In every way
In everywhere
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 ithren, I sisthren
Oh which way will we choose
We better hurry, oh 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 survivors
Tell you what
We're the survivors; yea, the black survivors
Yea, we're the survivors like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (survivor)
Thrown in the fire but we never get burn
So I ithren, I sisthren
The preaching and talking is done
We've got to live up woe now, woe now
'Cause the father 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
In this age of technological inhumanity (black survivor)
Scientific atrocity (survivor)
Atomic mis-philosophy (black survivor)
Nuclear mis-energy (survivor)
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (black survivor)
Together now
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors
We're the survivors
Yes, the black survivors
We're the survivors
A good man is never honored (survivor)
In his own country (black survivor)
Nothing change, nothing strange (survivor)
Nothing change, nothing change (black survivor)
We've got to survive Lord, (survivor) we've got to survive Lord
Telling me that you care
That you care
When everytime I look around
The people suffer in di sufferin'
In every way
In everywhere
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 ithren, I sisthren
Oh which way will we choose
We better hurry, oh 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 survivors
Tell you what
We're the survivors; yea, the black survivors
Yea, we're the survivors like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (survivor)

Nothing change, nothing change (black survivor)
We've got to survive Lord, (survivor) we've got to survive Lord
