lyrics

We forever have cowered in corners and clustered in shadows, too withered to try
We've huddled in horror and trembled in terror. We've hidden, hermetic, and waited to die
But we hang on for months with feeble vitals. Heave and hack for weeks with open eye
The strong are descending, and history is ending. The arrow is bending, and our time is nigh

We're slight and slender, and built for surrender, but only the weak, the weak survive
In sun and thunder, we never go under, 'cause only the weak, the weak survive

It's verse and chapter to wait for disaster. To shiver, to quiver, to nod and obey
You might have expect us to read the prospectus and gather together to waste away
But we can live a lifetime from a suitcase, packed to wait out our extended stay
In thicker, in thinner, in summer, in winter, we're here 'til the end, and it might come today

We're wilted and teary, we're wary and weary, but only the weak, the weak survive
We wander, we're under the weather together, but only the weak, the weak survive

Oh, don't go acting so uncertain now of which side I'm on
You could knock me over with a feather duster, kid, so come on

We're small and skinny, we're tiny and mini, but only the weak, the weak survive
We're bones and sinew, but still we continue, 'cause only the weak, the weak survive
