Not just for Gringos

We are all in survival mode

Everyday, all the time

whether we know it or not.

Everything we do is about getting by,

sometimes it just feels easier than other times but its still just survival mode in another disguise, jollying us into continuing when sometimes we just want to quit.

We all live survival mode

some just hide the obvious better than others

and some don’t even know that they’re hiding.

Sometimes I think that they are the lucky ones

Cause surviving feels easy to them that don’t know they are dying each day

Its easy for those who don’t know what I say

when I say that survival mode is with us today

In each of our days in all of our ways, its not just a phase

Its just the way that it is.

Its not just for Gringos.
