Only The Strong Survive - The Tubes

When you’re always chasing rainbows

And you might not know which way the wind blows

You say, your lucky day is comin'

Until that day you’re just slummin'

So you wait and you wait but the signal don’t change

Watching TV daily there is no sign

You read your horoscope

But ah, it would appear there is no hope

So what?

Who cares?

Gotta put a handle on your fear

A man comes and a man goes

And he always leaves alone

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy, yeah

It’s time to open your eyes

Don’t be afraid to see what you might see, yeah

The years roll by and the you’re feeling cheated

And you fight back hard but you know you’re defeated

They let your hair grow, get a sports car

But you know, you won’t go so far

It’s too bad, it’s real sad

You lost the best thing you ever had

You had some hope, you had the youth

And now you’ll never know the truth

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy, yeah

I think it’s time to open your eyes

Don’t be afraid to see what you might see, yeah

Oh, only the strong survive

Don’t ever let it get you down, down, down, down, yeah

Oh, I can’t sympathize

If you expect to stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, yeah

So what?

Who cares?

Better put a handle on your fear

A man comes and a man goes

And he always leaves alone

Only the strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy, yeah

I think it’s time you opened your eyes

Don’t be afraid to see what you might see, yeah

They say now, only the strong survive

Don’t ever let it get you down, down, down, down, yeah

I think it’s time to open your eyes

If you expect to stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, yeah

Only, only strong survive

You better wake up from that fantasy, yeah

I think it’s time that you opened your eyes

Don’t be afraid to see what you might see, yeah

Only, only strong survive
