lyrics

NUPHA
You survive.
(Sings.)
When I was human, I worked my hands near bleeding
So my love and I could just scrape by
In the service of the rich, the dumb, the needy
Who sneered at me; a rat they despised.

Who survives? Well, if you’re smart
It’s those that harden in their hearts
And spite their lords with another day of life.

On fuzzing day we changed; my love remained flesh
Was sent off to the camps and seen no more
For me, the rat for which they couldn’t care less
I was sent to fight in the Fleshy / Puppet War

Humans, puppets, blown apart
Their pieces bounced right off my heart
Who survives? Those who’ve been dead before

[Vocalizing]

One pair of paws is like another
Two simple tools designed to take
And if that makes you sad, well that is your mistake

For who survives is
Undecided
Some are prey and
Some are tyrants
Some decide that
Time’s worth biding
Ever silent
Til they come alive

I survive!
I survive!
I survive!
I survive!

Flesh, Fuzz or Alien
It’s all the same to them
Those who survive give in
So soul left to submit
A heart inanimate
A face im-passionate
A will to live safe within

I survive…
I survive…

And while you grit your teeth and smile
Perhaps inside all of the while
Something there brews behind your eyes

For as the rat serves
Their exper’ments
She still has her
Claws to tear with
She still has her
Teeth to bare and
She still has her
Mind set to survive!

[Vocalizing]

Who survives?
Who’s to say?
Who’s idea’s this anyway?
If you find out, don’t bother telling me.

I survive
I survive
I survive
I survive
I survive
I survive…
