Survival

[Verse 1] I broke my promise on a very sharp rock And I was possessed by something quite unfriendly And I was haunted by a demon in my sleep [Refrain] And that's how I learned how to survive [Verse 2] And I gave a beer to a bum that was drinking And I gave some sauce to my bestest friend for cooking And I gave water to all I thought were thirsty [Refrain] And that's how I learned how to survive [Verse 3] And I gave some money to my bank for safe keeping And I gave some money to my landlord, he was needing it And I gave attention to the TV that was bleeding [Refrain] And that's how I learned how to survive [Bridge] If you ain't got the do-re-mi boys If you ain't got the do-re-mi Well you better go back to beautiful Texas Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee California is a garden of Eden A paradise to live in or see But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot If you ain't got the do-re-mi [Verse 4] And I just ripped off a man named Woody Guthrie And I bought a restaurant for his son named Alice And I fed false information to the audience [Refrain] And that's how I learned how to survive [Verse 5] I give a thank you to my father for leaving me And I give a finger to my stepfather for beating me And I give props to myself for achieving God damn I'm glad that I survived God damn I am glad that I survived [Outro] I just handed you a giant load of gibberish And I give love to a lover quite deserving of it And I give thanks to all of you for listening to the story Of how we all learned how to survive
