Survive Lyrics by The Michael Character

Fame Swoll

2017

[Verse]
When the bombs fall
When the airstrikes get closer
When the world stalls
And the state pulls your choker
When the chaos of the normal
Gets replaced with a new kind of terrible

[Chorus]
Oh, where will you go?
Where will you get food and water?
How will you survive?

[Verse]
When you leave home
And you head for the cities
When uneven development
Leaves you with no good options
Global den of thieves
When the aid worker pulls you to shore
‘Cause the raft sinks from overcrowding

[Chorus]
Oh, where will you go?
Where will you get food and water?
How will you survive?

[Verse]
When you're kicked out, when your family says “fuck it”
When the shelter is scary
But your safety compared to a roof in the winter is a drop in the bucket
When no one will co-sign your lease
‘Cause you don’t have an income
‘Cause you don't have a place to sleep

[Chorus]
Where will you go?
Where will you get food and water?
How will you survive?

[Verse]
When the flood comes
When the coasts are submerged
When emergency relief agencies collapse
When there's no more cots
No more wood to burn
When it’s all too much for existing structures to contain

[Chorus]
Where will we go?
Where will we get food and water?
How will we survive?
How?
