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
