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 everywhere, In everywhere
Na-Na-Na-Na-NA We're the survivors Yes, the black survival
I tell you what Some people got everything Some people got nothing Some people got hopes & dreams Some people got no aim it seems
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na We're the survivors; Yes the black survival Yes we're the survivors like Daniel out of the Lion's den suvivors
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 plots & schemes Some people got Ways & means Some people got the facts & claims Some people got the pride & shame
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na We're the suvivors; Yes, the black survival (repeat) We're the survivors like Shedrach, 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 suvivors; 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 It's a world that forces life long insecurity All together now we're the survivors Yes, the black suvival 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 got to survive But to live as one equal in the eyes Of the almighty.
