I Can Survive — текст песни (Triumph)

My teacher told me, "Boy, you`re no good
Just because you don`t do what you should
You better shape up, or you`re gonna fail."
But I said, "I`m leavin`, cuz this is a jail."
An` I know what you`re thinkin`
But don`t pity me, oh no
I`ll be better off out on my own

CHORUS:
I can survive
I can survive just fine
I can survive
I can survive on my own

They tried to tell me, they tried to sell me
Play music like this, if you want to be smart
But I said, "Listen, here`s what you`re missin`
Music`s got to have a heart."
They put me through many changes
Faces and names are clear
But I`ll just leave my music
Ringin` louder in their ears

CHORUS

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 gotta deal with fate
And I know that you`ll understand
You got the power, baby, in your hands, yeah

CHORUS
