Only The Strong Survive

When you're always chasing rainbows

and you might not know which way the wind blows

You say your lucky day is comin'

Until that day you're just slummin'

So you wait and you wait but the signal don't change

Watching TV daily there is no sign

You read your horoscope

But ahh, it would appear there is no hope

So what?

Who cares?

Gotta put a handle

on your fear

A man comes

And a man goes

And he always leaves alone

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy

It's time to open your eyes

Don't be afraid to see what you might see

The years roll by and the boy feels cheated

He fights back hard, his youth's retreated

He lets his hair grow, gets a sports car

But he knows that won't go so far

It's too bad

It's real sad

You lost the best thing

You ever had

You had some hope

And you had the youth

But now you'll never

know the truth

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy

I think it's time to open your eyes

Don't be afraid to see what you might see

Only the strong survive

Don't ever let it get you down

Oh, I can't sympathize

If you expect to stick around

So what?

Who cares?

Better put a handle

On your fear

A man comes

And a man goes

And he always leaves alone

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy

I think it's time you opened your eyes

Don't be afraid to see what you might see

Only the strong survive

Don't ever let it get you down

I think it's time to open your eyes

If you expect to stick around

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy

I think it's time that you opened your eyes

Don't be afraid to see what you might see
