Lyrics

(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/

[*Sleeve notes:
But to live as one equal in the eyes
Of the almighty.]
