Kept thinking we could never live without you by our side
But then we spent so many nights thinking how you did us wrong
And we grew strong
And we learnt how to get along
And so you’re back
Wanting our votes
We just walked in to find you here with your promises to help
We should have changed that stupid law, we should have made you quit your seat
If we’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother us
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who cheated us with your false promises and lies
Did you think we’d crumble
Did you think we’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not us, we will survive
Oh, as long as we know how to live,  we know we’ll stay alive
We’ve  got all our life to live
And we’ve got all our votes to give and we’ll survive
We will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength we had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of our broken hearts
And we spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for ourselves
We used to cry
But now we hold our heads up high and you see us
Totally new
We’re not that naive electorate still in support of you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect us to vote for you
Well, now we’re saving all our votes for someone honest and true
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break us with your dishonesty and lies
Did you think we’d crumble
Did you think we’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not us, we will survive
Oh, as long as we know how to live, we know we’ll stay alive
We’ve got all our lives to live
And we’ve  got all our votes to give and we’ll survive
We will survive
