Robert Cray - Survivor lyrics

Trouble all around me everywhere There was a time when I didn't care Life was a party That's all we knew Now I'm so glad To be here today Cause not everybody Can stand up and say That they're a survivor Survivor Survivor You've got to choose If you wanna be a survivor Survivor Survivor Oh, yeah, you've got to choose Some learn Some don't Some live You know that Some won't And time wil tell Turn around Your life of hell The good old days Were such a waste of time You take a little schoolboy And teach him who to hate Then you Send him to the desert? For the oil near Kuwait? You try to change a world that You don't understand Now I'm so glad To be here today Cause from now Until forever And ever yeah You be lucky if You can stand up and say That you're a survivor Survivor Survivor You've got to choose If you wana be a survivor Oh, oh, oh You've got to choose If you wanna be a survivor You've got to choose Oh, yes, I'm so glad to be here today I'm so glad To be a survivor You'll have to turn around your life a hell Can't change anything you don't understand Hmmm, hmmmm You oughta be glad
