Lyrics
Well I'm campin' out right here at home
Guess it's just my destiny to wander and roam
I shoulda listened when my momma said
Before I left home
CHORUS:
God save the survivors in the combat zone
When the world turns cold and the darkness is closin' in
Don't depend on the sympathy of your brother or your friend
'Cause all you got's your own devices, man
And the Lord above
CHORUS:
God save the survivors in a world without love
Oh yes it is, there ain't no love right now, no, no
BRIDGE:
And don't, don't, don't look for a savior
Don't wait for a miracle to pull you through
And don't, don't, don't hope for the best now
Just hope that the roof don't fall on you
So if you're campin' out on the street or in your home
Don't believe in the stranger who says you're not alone
We're all alone in this wicked world from the day we're born
CHORUS:
God save the survivors in the combat zone
God save the survivors we're in the combat zone
Oh yes we are, it's a combat zone right now,
Oh yes it is, the world's a combat zone,
Oh yeah, yeah, a combat zone right here, etc....
