(Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!
2
Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!)
3
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
4
How can you be sitting there
5
Telling me that you care
6
That you care?
7
When every time I look around,
8
The people suffer in the suffering
9
In everyway, in everywhere.
10
Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):
11
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
12
I tell you what: some people got everything;
13
Some people got nothing;
14
Some people got hopes and dreams;
15
Some people got ways and means.
16
Na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):
17
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
18
Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den
19
(Black survivors) Survivors, survivors!
20
So I Idren, I sistren,
21
A-which way will we choose?
22
We better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!
23
'Cause we got no time to lose.
24
Some people got facts and claims;
25
Some people got pride and shame;
26
Some people got the plots and schemes;
27
Some people got no aim it seems!
28
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na!
29
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
30
Tell you what: we're the survivors, yeah! - the Black survivors, yeah!
31
We're the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
32
(Black survivors),
33
Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.
34
So I Idren, I-sistren,
35
The preaching and talkin' is done;
36
We've gotta live up, wo now, wo now!
37
'Cause the Father's time has come.
38
Some people put the best outside;
39
Some people keep the best inside;
40
Some people can't stand up strong;
41
Some people won't wait for long.
42
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na-na-na, na-na-na na!
43
We're the survivors
44
In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival),
45
Scientific atrocity (survivors),
46
Atomic misphilosophy (Black survival),
47
Nuclear misenergy (survivors):
48
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival).
49
Together now:
50
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na na-na na na! (Na na-na na na!)
51
We're the survivors, yeah!
52
We're the survivors!
53
Yes, the Black survivors!
54
We're the survivors:
55
A good man is never honoured (survivors)
56
in his own yountry (Black survival).
57
Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors).
58
Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors).
59
We got to survive, y'all! (survivors)
