Survival Song

[Verse 1] And 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 who all I thought were thirsty [Refrain] And that's how I learned how to survive [Verse 3] And I gave my money to the bank for safe keeping And I gave my money to my landlord, he was needing it And I gave attention to the T.V. that was bleeding [Refrain] And that's how I learned how to survive [Chorus] But 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 we totally 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] And I give a thank-you to my father for not raising me And I give a finger to my step-father for beating me And I give props to myself for achieving And god damn, I'm glad that I survived And god damn, I am surprised that I survived [Outro] And 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 withstanding The story of how we learned how to survive
