Survival

(الألبوم: Survival - 1975)

Help me (Help me), help me (Poor me), help me. (Help me)

Survival.
Survival of the fittest.
Survival.
I gotta get with it,
'Cause it ain't no joke (ain't no joke) when a man is broke.
Busted walking around broke.
And it ain't no jive (ain't no jive) trying to stay alive.
Living from day to day, living now.

Rent man says that the rent is due.
My little baby needs a new pair of shoes.
I'm just about to lose my mind.
One step away from the bread line.
Well, I'm trying to do the very best I can.
Trying to make it on through.
I don't know which way to turn.
I don't know what to do.

Survival.
Survival of the fittest.
Survival. Ay, well.
I gotta get with it,
'Cause it ain't no joke (ain't no joke) when a man is broke.
Busted walking around broke.
And it ain't no jive (ain't no jive) trying to stay alive.
Living from day to day, living now.

Pockets so bare, I'm down to my last penny.
Looking for hope, I can't find any.
First law of nature is the preservation of man.
Looks like I'll have to do with anything I can.
Hustle bustle, day in and day out.
Can't even get a good night's sleep.
I don't know how in the world.
We're gonna make these ends meet.

Survival.
Survival of the fittest.
Survival.
I gotta get with it,
'Cause it ain't no joke (ain't no joke) when a man is broke.
Walking around with his hands in his pockets broke, busted.
And it ain't no jive (ain't no jive) trying to stay alive.
Living from day to day, living now.

Hustle bustle, can't quit it, gotta get it.
Help me, (Help me) help me, (Help me) help me, (Help me)

(Survival)
Well, well, well. (Survival of the fittest)
Survival.
I-I-I-I gotta get with it.
(Survival) Well, well, well (Survival of the fittest)
(Survival) Wont'cha, wont'cha (I gotta get with it)
(Survival) I wonder does anybody care (Survival of the fittest)
(Survival) When they, ay, uh, get on welfare (I gotta get with it)
(Survival) Help me, help me, help me (Survival of the fittest)
Survival. I gotta get with it.
(Survival) Rent man says the rent is due (Survival of the fittest)
(Survival) Pockets so bare, I don't know what to do (I gotta get with it)
Survival
Survival of the fittest
Survival (I gotta get with it)
(Survival. Survival of the fittest) (I'm busted)
(Survival. I gotta get with it) (I'm busted)
Survival (Survival of the fittest)
