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 your signal don't change

Watching TV daily, there is no sign

You read your horoscope, but ah

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, yeah)

It's time to open your eyes

(Don't be afraid to see)

(What you might see) Yeah

The years go by and you're feeling cheated

And you fight back hard

But you know you're defeated

Oh, you let you hair grow, get a sports car

But you know you won't go so far

It's too bad, it's real sad

You lost the best thing you ever had

You had hope, you had your youth

And now you'll never know the truth

Only the strong survive

(You better wake up)

(From that fantasy, yeah)

I think it's time to open your eyes

(Don't be afraid to see)

(What you might see) Yeah

Only, only the strong survive

(Don't ever let it get you)

(Down, down, down, down, yeah)

Oh, I can't sympathize

(If you expect to stick around) Yeah

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, yeah)

I think it's time you opened your eyes

(Don't be afraid to see)

(What you might see) You see? Yeah

Only the strong survive

(Don't ever let it get you)

(Down, down, down, down, yeah)

I think it's time to open your eyes

(If you expect to stick around, yeah)

Only, only the strong survive

(You better wake up)

(From that fantasy, yeah)

I think it's time for you to open your eyes

(Don't be afraid to see)

(What you might see, yeah)

Only, only the strong survive...
