At first I was your friend, I was oh-so-kind,

Kep' thinkin' I could live in peace with all your awful kind,

I usta go out of my way tryin' not to do you wrong,

But I grew strong -- I don' care how we get along!



An'...so...we're off!

To outer space!

You jus' don' think that I'll care for that trustin' look upon your face?!

I should've told you what I want, I should've made myself more clear,

If I had known for jus' one second you'd think I'd be content here!



So now we'll go!

Perhaps you're sore,

But if you mind it,

You can always declare war!

Werencha the one who built the pools that we can fly,

Didja think I'd crumble,

Didja think I'd lay down an' die?



Oh, no, not I!

I will survive!

There's jus' no way that I can rest if I know you're still alive!

I got all the worlds to take,

An' I got all the wills to break,

An' I'll survive!

I will survive!



In my firs' host, it took strength not to fall apart,

I'm one of those Yeerks for whom thir' days always fall so hard,

I usta spend so many nights wishin' it would end, an' fast,

But that's all past,

I'm out of our pool, but I'll last!



An' you'll see me!

Somebody new!

I'm not that grateful little person still in debt to you!

So you're in orbit 'round our world, an' just expect us to be free,

But now we're equals, an' there's nothin' that's the way it usta be!



So now we'll go!...
