I was gonna gonna plant a tree

I was gonna get off my meds

I was gonna drink less, maybe work less

Maybe go to the beach

Or back to school, ah hell

Maybe donate, maybe meditate

Maybe don't eat much so much, I was

I guess I just got caught up in the

Surviving only

Pay rent, don't die

Make love, don't die

Work hard, get by, just stay alive

Surviving only

That's just the way it is

Why's that the way it is?

I'm just asking

I'm just asking

When's the last time you touched clean money?

It's dirty work to keep the engine humming

And running on fumes and doom, ah well

Ah hell, just buy, just sell

They can't rebеl until they wake up

Said one dictator to anothеr

But they can't wake up if they don't rebel

Let 'em dream, I say

Surviving only

Hydrate, don't die

Sleep well, don't die

Don't ask, don't tell, just stay alive

Surviving only

That's the way it is, ah

I'm just asking, I'm just asking

That's the way it is

Surviving only

Pay rent, don't die

Make love, don't die

Work hard, get by, just stay alive

Surviving only

Hydrate, don't die

Sleep well, don't die

Don't ask, don't tell, just stay alive

Surviving, surviving

Survive
