Survive lyrics
by Rise Against
[Verse 1]
Somewhere between "happy" and "total f*cking wreck"
Feet sometimes on solid ground and sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams
To give up on your
[Chorus]
Life for you (Who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (Who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (Who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive (Who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
[Verse 2]
An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement, a status quo exile
I shirk my obligations, I miss all your deadlines
I excel at quitting early and f*cking up my life
[Chorus]
Life for you (Who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (Who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (Who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive (Who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
[Bridge]
All smiles and sunshine
A perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out
I have never felt so f*cking great
All smiles and sunshine
A perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out
I have never felt so great
[Refrain]
(Life isn't like this, life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this, life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
Life isn't like this
Life isn't like this (Life isn't like this)
Are we verging on an answer
Or f*cking up our—
[Chorus]
Life for you (Who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (Who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (Who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive (Who we are)
Is what makes us who we are (Who we are)
It's what makes us who we are, woah (Who we are)
It makes us who we are (Who we are)
It's what makes us who we are (Who we are)
