Survive
[Verse 1]
Principalities of man got you down in the mud
You’re a single grain of sand so you can’t stand out
Misery on every corner looking for handouts
You got peoples steady yelling you don’t know what about
Just turn your eyes to the sky and remove all doubt

[Chorus]
If you wanna survive
If you wanna survive
Cause they’ll eat you alive
They’ll eat you alive

[Verse 2]
In your heart you feel you’re right but they tell you you’re wrong
The melody you orchestrate don’t go with the song
You’re only waiting in vain don’t make a difference how long
They tell you get off the stage but you can’t hear the call
So stop beating your chest and acting like King Kong

[Chorus]
If you wanna survive
If you wanna survive
Cause they’ll eat you alive
Cause they’ll eat you alive

[Outro]
If you want to survive
You got to let it go
If you want to survive
You got to let it go
If you want to survive
Let it go
If you wanna survive
If you want to survive
