Survive YouI was once a bright young thing, on my way, straight to the topThen suddenly you fell in my way like a drunken, overprivileged roadblockWhat did I do to deserve this constant stream of ignominy?All I ever wanted to do was serve the Board, faithfullyI get blamed for the mistakes you make, they bounce off you and stick to meBut it won’t always be this way, just you wait, you will seeI will survive you, I've just got to weather the stormI’ll thrive without you, I’ll be here long after you've goneI will, survive, I will survive youI will, survive, I will survive youIf you were another employee, you’d be dead and gone and out of my wayYou're just coasting on the Geistman name, a family tree that's withered awayThe way you act makes life expectancies around you real bleakUnless that David’s a miracle worker, they’ll be dead in a weekGonna keep you out the Cosmic Lounge, until you learnGonna keep puttin’ feet in your mouth, until you learnI will survive you, I've just got to weather the stormI’ll thrive without you, I’ll be here long after you've goneI will, survive, I will survive youI will, survive, I will survive youYou'll be dead, and I’ll be alive, I will survive, I will survive x4(fading out)ArtistsDr. Beaver : Band Leader, Bass, Additional GuitarsJJ Perry: Guitar, Production, Mixing and Mastering, Arrangement and Additional MusicJenny Haufek: VocalsTim Meredith: Music and LyricsSpecial thanks to Amy Dickinson for advice and support.“Survive You” is from the album “Cabaret Night at the Cosmic Lounge”. © Rusty Quill 2020If you would like to own the full album, consider becoming a Patron of Rusty Quill!
