now that i'm out on the street
i sure am better
you thought that i'd be weak out here
but im around
you thought id be broke out here
but im ok
you thought i wouldnt grow without ya
but im taller
you thought id be ad livin here
but im learning
you thought id be helpless livin here
but i can cope
you thought id be stressin livin here
but im chillin
you thought i wouldnt learn without ya
i got money now

Chorus
I'm a survivor
i found a fiver
got in a taxi
and beat up the driver
thought it was funny
robbed all his money
im a survivor
and still got my fiver
I'm a survivor
i found a fiver
got in a taxi
and beat up the driver
thought it was funny
robbed all his money
im a survivor
and still got my fiver

thought i couldnt be clean without you
but i sure am
you thought i couldnt be without you
perfect here
you thought i couldnt last without ya
i sure am lastin
you thought i would die out here
but still here
thought that i would bail by now out here
but im still fine
thought id be home by now
but im not there
thought i would be mugged out here
but im still fine
even in my years to come
i'll soon be at home

Chorus
I'm a survivor
i found a fiver
got in a taxi
and beat up the driver
thought it was funny
robbed all his money
im a survivor
and still got my fiver
I'm a survivor
i found a fiver
got in a taxi
and beat up the driver
thought it was funny
robbed all his money
im a survivor
and still got my fiver

im wishing for a house
so i eat no mouse
no mice, no rats and lots of bugs i hate
(im better that that)
im not gonna mud blast your house
(im better that that)
im not gonna live with you or your family, no
(im better that that)
im gonna send photos to a magazine
(im better that that)
i wish you werent so christian like
you know im not gonna diss you in the town square
cause your momma told me better than that

(ohs)

after all the darkness and cold nights
still theres homelessness
if i sorround myself with women i found
i'll gain property

Chorus
I'm a survivor
i found a fiver
got in a taxi
and beat up the driver
thought it was funny
robbed all his money
im a survivor
and still got my fiver
I'm a survivor
i found a fiver
got in a taxi
and beat up the driver
thought it was funny
robbed all his money
im a survivor
and still got my fiver
