Survivor Songtext
von Fifteen

Your daddy beat you up
Your daddy beat you down
Your daddy put your mama in the hospital
Your daddy left town
He broke your heart
Your mama drank too much
Your mama hit you in the face
Had to make excuses for the bruises to all your friends
Had to live in disgrace
She broke your heart
Your daddy came in your room at night
He took whatever he wanted
Your daddy was your father
And your mama never tried to stop him
They broke your heart
My mama beat me up
My mama beat me down
My brother walked right past
My family threw me out
They broke my heart


America is the place where the kids got broken hearts
America is the place where the kids got
Twisted minds bent on self-destruction
America is the place where the kids got
Their wills broken into and broken in two
America is the place where the kids got broken hearts
And the adults say hush, keep it down now, voices carry
The adults say hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
And the adults say
Don′t tell anyone, don't tell them anything
Don′t tell them what went on, don't tell them what really happened
Don't tell anyone, don′t tell them anything
They won′t believe you because it's all your fault
I made a bag out of a piece of cloth
I made a wish and I wrote it down on a piece of paper
I put the paper in the bag and I wished with all my heart
I said please deliver me
Low and behold it became reality
So I can say today
I refuse to believe God created me to be tortured
I refuse to believe God created me to be abandoned
I refuse to believe God created me to be neglected
I refuse to believe God created me to be abused
I picked up the pieces of my broken heart off the dirty boulevard
I found a punk rock kid who had a needle and some leather string
I made a wish and I said it again and again
I took the needle and threaded it
I sewed my broken heart back together again
I′ve got a family now
Sewed my broken heart back together again
I've got a wife I love
Sewed my broken heart back together again
I′ve got two daughters I love
Sewed my broken heart back together again
I've got a family now
