Who wouldn't want to win the million-dollar prize?
Be one of sixteen castaways, split in two equal tribes.
Well if I could take that trip, it would be nothing but a blast
To see if I could play the game - could I outwit, outplay, outlast?

Well, are you set? You'd better be
Cuz you'll be stranded close to nowhere, by air or land or sea
Do you think you have the stuff to last until day thirty-nine?
Cuz it's gonna get real tough, without luxuries of any kind
No creature comfort - no room for slack
Just some rice to eat, and fifteen folks who'll stab you in the back!
Is he your friend, or is he just another liar?
Bet you'll find out - when Jeff is putting out your fire

But that fire ain't mine
Cuz I could survive
Well, if I could build a hut, I would be leader of that tribe
Those fish might escape my catch
And I might not be Richard Hatch
But I could survive... and I would survive- hey, hey!

So you've been out here for a week, and you're still goin' strong
Your spirits are still high, and you think you can't go wrong
But now the battle lines are drawn, alliances are taking shape
You'd better come up with a plan, or get your butt back to the states
Well, there's a challenge, being held today
And it's for immunity, to guarantee yourself a longer stay
But your tribe didn't make the cut, you lost the race by just a hair
The Idol's in the other camp, and it does no good for you there
So it's your tribe, who'll cast the vote
And when the tribe has spoken, pal, that means it's time for you to go
Well, to have a fighting chance, you're gonna have to plot and scheme
And when it's all done, one Sole Survivor there will be

And that would be I
Cuz I could survive
Oh, in this game you must adapt, or else be voted from the tribe
Those fish might escape my catch,
And I might not be Richard Hatch
But I could survive.... I would survive...
