Lyrics

Soul Survivor

Tin Pan Alley, Motown next-
then down to Nashville to bleed the rest

almost gone is rock and roll -

down the road of blues and soul
Somebody bought the rights to song - and now the times you sing along
with movies, radios and TV, -
it's music that they stole from me


We prayed with music we prayed in song
We must have prayed for something very wrong
We prayed so hard - no one was there
We're the soul survivors without a prayer


We couldn't bare a faith so weak,
we'd sing, we'd play, we tried to speak
We fought our doubts up to the end, and let the living say amen

And we who have been left for dead, are just the indie ghosts instead
Our rhythms move and can be found - and you can hear -we're still around

Chorus

We stand alone no need to hide
with just one empty note inside
For us there is no place to go
but we won't fight A the radio

A tone deaf world, a wasted life,
we've buried daughters sons and wives
Their lives are gone the sun goes down -
now we'll go - without a sound

Chorus
