Success? Success Is Survival

(album: Cleave - 2018)

The cream of this country, rich and fake
Will always rise to the top
Those beneath on hands and knees
Left to curl and rot

That's the order that's been set
We're expected to accept
You can dream how you want
But you'll never get

Success?
Success is survival
Success?
Success is survival

They choose homes in the Promised Land
A luxury they don't have
And put their kids on the water
'Cause it's just not safe on the land

That's the order that's been set
We're expected to accept
You can dream how you want
But you'll never get

Success?
Success is survival
Success?
Success is survival

Some of us have nothing left
Some of us take it all
Some of us have nothing left
Divided, vulnerable

Success?
(Keep going, keep going)
Success is survival
Success?
(Keep going, keep going)
Success is survival
Success?
(Keep going, keep going)
Success is survival
Success?
(Keep going, keep going)
Success is survival
