Survival

Woooohoo, oh, wow, hoWoo
Hang on here buddy, don’t fall; hang on
Come on young fellow, you can do it
Just don’t look down
Don’t mind those bricks, and this wood beneath your head
Don’t mind this string, so thin,
Stretched to its best by your weight hanging down
Just forget that it might fail you
Forget that it might die
And bring up your death with it, forget that it might cry
Just hang up here buddy, forget the ground beneath you
Keep up hanging in the air, don’t smash your head against the floor

You’ve been doing it for quite some time
You’re doing it for a living
You’re a survival, that’s what you do, that’s what you are
They drain you off your life as they write and paint
They then call you names when you faint
They dye you and then throw you when you’re out of life
They don’t try to fill you with a breath of life
Some of your kind get lucky and fall in the hands of those who care
But they care for their possessions, not out of good will
They fill their lives by taking out yours, 
They drain you dry to write their stories
They just forget that you’re their companion
And despite their ignorance, you’ve always survived
You’re not going to die for you’re a survival

They manifacture you only to please them, to assist them with their lives
And they seem to forget that you’re a survival
For centuries you’ve thrived
You fought against their demolition, against their loss of memory
You fought against time!
You’ve made it through their worst
and it takes more than a couple of inches to put you down
Yes you’re a tiny, little blue pen, hanging at the end of a blanket
But you’re the winner, you’ve always been
So just don’t slide and crash against the ground
You’ve made it through the worst and the worst is not now
So hang up on here buddy, and know that you are 
The king of all winning cards, you're a survival .
