"I Will Survive"

Sung to the 1970's disco tune by Donna Summer
Filk lyrics by Sarah Meador

At the end I was blind, I was paralyzed
Pretty sure I was gonna die
Since I'd lost my insides
But Rafael got right to work
And made of me a walking bomb
And now I'm strong
And I have got to carry on

'cause X is back
From outer space
I just wake up
And that news slaps me right upside the face
We should have torched that goddamn base
We should have turned him to debris
Well now I'm off to show that pencil
Why you shouldn't f*** with me

Now go
Straight to Hell's door
You're no more welcome
Than you ever were before
So you shot me in the head thirty or maybe forty times
Did you think you'd stopped me?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Hell no not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to fight I know I'm still alive
I've got one more life to live
I've got all my hate to give
And I'll get by
I still survive

Against all the odds it seems
I didn't fall apart
I'm still here with this new body and rewired heart
And I've spent way too many eps
Just acting angsty by myself
I should have died
But I had fandom on my side

So you see me
Better than new
I'm not the same brain damaged
Slowly dying number 2
And so you thought you'd just drop by
And blow our world to smithereens
But you forgot the Kagaku Ninja Tai
And you forgot all about me

So now go
Straight to Hell's door
You're no more welcome
Than you ever were before
And sure you shot me in the head thirty or maybe forty times
Did you think that stopped me?
Did you think I'd lay down and died?

Hell no not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to kill I know I'm still alive
I've got one more life to live
I've got all my hate to give
And I'll get by
I still survive
