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 [bad word] 
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 
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.
