Only The Strong Survive — текст песни (The Tubes)

(Spooner/Steen/Prince/Welnick/Cotten/Anderson/Waybill)

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 ahh, 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
It`s time to open your eyes
Don`t be afraid to see what you might see

The years roll by and the boy feels cheated
He fights back hard, his youth`s retreated
He lets his hair grow, gets a sports car
But he knows that 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
And you had the youth
But now you`ll never
know the truth

Only the strong survive
You better wake up from that fantasy
I think it`s time to open your eyes
Don`t be afraid to see what you might see

Only the strong survive
Don`t ever let it get you down
Oh, I can`t sympathize
If you expect to stick around

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
I think it`s time you opened your eyes
Don`t be afraid to see what you might see

Only the strong survive
Don`t ever let it get you down
I think it`s time to open your eyes
If you expect to stick around

Only the strong survive
You better wake up from that fantasy
I think it`s time that you opened your eyes
Don`t be afraid to see what you might see
