Summary
Survive You
I was once a bright young thing, on my way, straight to the top
Then suddenly you fell in my way like a drunken, overprivileged roadblock
What did I do to deserve this constant stream of ignominy?
All I ever wanted to do was serve the Board, faithfully
I get blamed for the mistakes you make, they bounce off you and stick to me
But it won’t always be this way, just you wait, you will see
I will survive you, I've just got to weather the storm
I’ll thrive without you, I’ll be here long after you've gone
I will, survive, I will survive you
I will, survive, I will survive you
If you were another employee, you’d be dead and gone and out of my way
You're just coasting on the Geistman name, a family tree that's withered away
The way you act makes life expectancies around you real bleak
Unless that David’s a miracle worker, they’ll be dead in a week
Gonna keep you out the Cosmic Lounge, until you learn
Gonna keep puttin’ feet in your mouth, until you learn
I will survive you, I've just got to weather the storm
I’ll thrive without you, I’ll be here long after you've gone
I will, survive, I will survive you
I will, survive, I will survive you
You'll be dead, and I’ll be alive, I will survive, I will survive x4
