Only the Strong Survive

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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' [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] So what? Who cares? Gotta put a handle on your fear A man comes and a man goes And he always leaves alone [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Bridge] [Pre-Chorus] So what? Who cares? Better put a handle on your fear A man comes and a man goes And he always leaves alone [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Chorus/Outro] 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...
