ONLY SURVIVOR © 2008 Jefferson Pepper, American Fallout.com

You’re kicking back with a Jack and your feet in the sand / You’ve got a burned out torch in your right hand and you’re lonely / You thought you’d be so happy here / But paradise is lost my dear when you’re the only survivor on the island / Now that sunset don’t seem so inviting / ‘Cause you thought you’d never need anyone else / You were too busy thinking, thinking about yourself / Now you’re the only survivor alive on the island / Well, it was dog eat dog and you did what you did / To get ahead of the pack and get rid of the competition / But you sold your soul along the way / That was the price you paid for your ambition / You thought you’d never need anyone else / You were too busy thinking, thinking about yourself / Now you’re the only survivor alive on the island / You got your copper tone on and you look so cool / By your in ground pool and your thatched bamboo cabana / But the voice in your head feels regret / You left me for dead in South Bend, Indiana / ‘Cause you thought you’d never need anyone else / You were too busy thinking, thinking about yourself / Now you’re the only survivor alive on the island / Men put you up on a pedestal / You took their gold, you thought you had a right to / But your crown and book of justice fell / Down into Hell and now nobody likes you / ‘Cause you thought you’d never need anyone else / You were too busy thinking, thinking about yourself / Now you’re the only survivor alive on the island / Well you worked like a slave, scrimped and saved / For material things that you craved on the TV / But you forgot to put the people first / Now the huddled masses curse you lady liberty / ‘Cause you thought you’d never need anyone else / You were too busy thinking, thinking about yourself / Now you’re the only survivor alive on the island
