How acn you be sitting there
  Telling me that you care
  That you care
  When everytime I look around
  The people suffer in suffering
  In everyway. In everywhere
  
  Na-na-na-na-na
  We're the survivors; yes, the black survival
  
  I tell you what
  Some people got everything
  Some poeple got nothing
  Some people got hopes and dreams
  Some people got ways and means
  
  Na-na-na-na-na
  We're the survivors; 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 woe now
  'Cause 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
  We're the survivors; yes, the black survival
  We're the survivors; yes, 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 woe now, woe 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
  We're the survivors; a black survival
  In this age of technological inhumanity
  We're the survivors black survival
  Scientific atrocity, we're the survivors
  Atomic mis-philosophy, we're the survivors
  Nuclear mis-energy
  It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity
  All together now we're the survivors
  Yes, the black survival
  A good man is never honoured in his own country, black survival
  Nothing change, nothing strange
  Nothing change, nothing strange
  We got to survive, we've got to survive
  But to live as one equal in the eyes of the almighty
