I Can Survive Songtext
von Triumph

Well, my teacher told me, "Boy, you′re no good
Because you don't do what you should
You better shape up or you′re gonna fail"
But I said, "I'm leaving 'cause this is a jail"
And I know what you′re thinking
But don′t pity me, oh no
I'll be better off out on my own

But I can survive
I know that I can survive just fine
I said, I can survive
I said, I can survive on my own

They tried to tell me, they tried to sell me
"Play music like this if you wanna be smart"
But I said, "Listen, here′s what you're missing
Music′s got to have a heart"
They put me through many changes
Faces and names I've cleared
But I just leave my music ringing louder in their ears


I can survive
I know that I can survive just fine
I said, I can survive
Know that I can survive just fine
Yeah, I can survive
Baby, I can survive on my own
Said that I can survive

Now you should know just what to do
Don′t let other people take advantage of you now
Don't think twice, no, don't hesitate
Shoot for the top, you got to deal with fate
And I know you′ll feel better
I know that you′ll understand
You got the power, baby, in your hand, yeah

I can survive
Baby, I can survive just fine
I know I can survive
Baby, I can survive on my own
I can survive
Baby, I can survive just fine
I can survive
I said, I can survive
I can survive
I know I can survive
