In the hell raising business of rock n' roll
You gotta make it on your own
You had to put two feet in front of you
And you always gotta be strong

Only the strong survive it
Only the strong survive rock n' roll
Only the strong survive it
Only the strong survive rock n' roll

You can't let it get you down
Because you ain't no star
You gotta push and shove and look above
It you're ever gonna get that far

Only the strong survive it
Only the strong survive rock n' roll
Only the strong survive it
Only the strong survive rock n' roll

When you're sittin' on top of the world
Don't let it get you high
Don't let it go to your nose
Or them fancy clothes
It's such a long way down
From the sky

Only the strong survive it
Only the strong survive rock n' roll
Only the strong survive it
Only the strong survive rock n' roll
