[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
When you're always chasing rainbows
And you might not know
Which way the wind blows
You say your lucky day is comin'
Until that day, you're just slummin'
[Verse 2]
So you wait and you wait
But your signal don't change
Watching TV daily, there is no sign
You read your horoscope, but ah
It would appear there is no hope
[Pre-Chorus]
So what? Who cares?
Gotta put a handle on your fear
A man comes and a man goes
And he always leaves alone
[Chorus]
Only the strong survive
(You better wake up)
(From that fantasy, yeah)
It's time to open your eyes
(Don't be afraid to see)
(What you might see) Yeah
[Verse 3]
The years go by and you're feeling cheated
And you fight back hard
But you know you're defeated
Oh, you let you hair grow, get a sports car
But you know you won't go so far
[Pre-Chorus]
It's too bad, it's real sad
You lost the best thing you ever had
You had hope, you had your youth
And now you'll never know the truth
[Chorus]
Only the strong survive
(You better wake up)
(From that fantasy, yeah)
I think it's time to open your eyes
(Don't be afraid to see)
(What you might see) Yeah
[Chorus]
Only, only the strong survive
(Don't ever let it get you)
(Down, down, down, down, yeah)
Oh, I can't sympathize
(If you expect to stick around) Yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
So what? Who cares?
Better put a handle on your fear
A man comes and a man goes
And he always leaves alone
[Chorus]
Only the strong survive
(You better wake up)
(From that fantasy, yeah)
I think it's time you opened your eyes
(Don't be afraid to see)
(What you might see) You see? Yeah
[Chorus]
Only the strong survive
(Don't ever let it get you)
(Down, down, down, down, yeah)
I think it's time to open your eyes
(If you expect to stick around, yeah)
[Chorus/Outro]
Only, only the strong survive
(You better wake up)
(From that fantasy, yeah)
I think it's time for you to open your eyes
(Don't be afraid to see)
(What you might see, yeah)
Only, only the strong survive...
