Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

Stay Strong, Find a Way To Live

stay strong, keep the genie in the bottle
    find a way to live, and before too long

   we'll see, it is not easy
  I have been there and it is still in me
    and they keep on coming back for more
 they'll keep on coming back until there is no more
        ________________

    good luck, with them there newspapers                     
   back to front graffiti, coin in the cup

   down-strum doesn't ask for kindness
  nothing above you're older than the sun
  and they'll keep on coming back for more
and these multitudes of heartbreaks are all yours
  
      stay strong, find a way to live
   stay strong, try to find a way to give
          _________________

      vampires find a way to bleed you
  stripped of all pretense, (y'know) somehow they need you

  they're in there, in your system
   despite all efforts to resist them
  they' tearin' up the disco-dirty floor
 they'll keep on coming back until there is no more

    stay strong, find a way to live
 stay strong, try to find a way to give.
