How [Em] can you [Am] be sitting there [F] telling me that [C] you care, [Am]
that you [C] care, [Am]
when every time I
look around the [F] people suffer and they suffer in every [C] way, [Am] in every [C] way.
[Am]
[F] [G] [Am]
[G]
[E] We're the [C] survivors, [Am] yes the black [Em] survivors, I tell you what, [C] some people got everything,
[Am] some people got nothing, some people got hopes and dreams, some people got ways and [F] means.
[Am]
[G]
We're the [Em] survivors, yes the black survivors, yes we're the survivors, like Daniel O'Donnell
and the [A] lions, they're [C] [Am] survivors, survivors.
[C] So I, I dream, I say string, [F] which way will [C] we [Bm] choose?
We [E] better hurry, oh hurry, oh hurry, oh [F] now, cause we've got [G] no time to [C] lose.
Some people got facts and [Em] claims, some people got pride and shame, some people got the flops and the scheme,
some [Am] people got no aim it [F] seems.
[Am]
[G]
We're [Em] the survivors, yes the black survivors, I tell you what, we're the survivors, yeah, the black survivors, yeah.
We're the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, going [Am] to fire but they never get burned.
[C] So I, I dream, I say string, [F] reaching and [C] talking is [Em] done, we've [A] got to [Am] live.
Go now, go [F] now, not the [G] farther time has come.
[C] Some people put the best [Em] outside, some people keep the [A] best inside, [C] some people can't stand up [Em] strong, some [Am] people won't wait for [F] long.
[Am]
[G]
We're [Em] the survivors, in this age of technological advancement, scientific atrocity, atomic misphilosophy,
nuclear mis-energy, it's a world that forces lifelong insecurity.
Together [F] now, [G] na na na [Am] na na na, [G]
we're [Em] the survivors, yeah, we're the survivors, yes the black survivors, we're the survivors.
Yes, a good man is never under the, survivor, in his own young, survivor.
I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change.
