 (Ow-ow-ow-ow, ow, ow-ow-ow-ow), yeah, yeah, yeah!
 How can you be sitting there, telling  me that you care?
 When everytime I look around, the people suffer  in suffering,
 In every way,  in everywhere.
 Na-na-na-na-na,  (na-na-na-na).
  We're  the sur-vivors,  yes, the black survival. I tell you what;
 Some people got everything, some people got nothing.
 Some people got hopes and dreams, some people got ways and means.
 Na-na-na-na-na,  (na-na-na-na).
  We're  the sur-vivors,  yes, the black survival,
 Yes we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den,
 Survivors, survivors.
 
 So my brethren, my sisthren, which way will we choose?
 We better hurry,  oh hurry, woah now, 'cos  we got no time  to lose.
 Some people got facts and claims, some peole got pride and shame.
 Some people got the plots and schemes, some people got no aim it seems.
 Na-na-na-na-na,  (na-na-na-na).
  We're  the sur-vivors,  yes, the black survival,
 We're the survivors, yeah, the black survival.
 We're the survivors, (like Shadrach, 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, woah now, woah now, 'cos the father's time has come.
 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,  (na-na-na-na).
  We're  the sur-vivors  in this age of technological inhumanity,
 (Survivors), scientific atrocity, (survivors), atomic mis-philosophy,
 (Survivors), Nuclear mis-energy, (black survival).
 It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity,
 (Black survival), all together now:
 Na-na-na-na-na,  (na-na-na-na).
  We're  the sur-vivors,  yeah, the black survival.
 We're the sur-vivors, a good man is never honoured, (survivors),
 In his own country, (black survival).
 Nothing change, nothing strange, (survivors).
 Nothing change, nothing strange, (black survival).
 (Fade)
