Black

[delawaredan]

How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care -
That you
care?
When every time I look around,
The people suffer in the
suffering
In everyway, in everywhere.
Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na,
na-na!):
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
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 survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
Yes, we're the
survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den
(Black survivors) Survivors,
survivors!
So I Idren, I sistren,
A-which way will we choose?
We better
hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!
'Cause we got no time to lose.
Some
people got facts and claims;
Some people 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!
We're the survivors, yes: the Black
survivors!
Tell you what: we're the survivors, yeah! - the Black survivors,
yeah!
We're the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

(Black
survivors),
Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.
So I Idren,
I-sistren,
The preaching and talkin' is done;
We've gotta live up, wo now,
wo now! -
'Cause 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-na-na na!
We're the survivors
In this age of technological inhumanity
(Black survival),
Scientific atrocity (survivors),
Atomic misphilosophy
(Black survival),
Nuclear misenergy (survivors):
It's a world that forces
lifelong insecurity (Black survival).
Together now:
(Na-na-na-na-na!)
Na na-na na na! (Na na-na na na!)
We're the survivors, yeah!
We're the
survivors!
Yes, the Black survivors!
We're the survivors:
A good man is
never honoured (survivors)
in his own yountry (Black survival).
Nothing
change, nothing strange (survivors).
Nothing change, nothing strange (Black
survivors).
We got to survive, y'all! (survivors) - [fadeout
