Lyrics:
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Might he grow a little wiser, little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
Well, I sold a million mirrors in a shop in alley way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive
Ooh, take you all your time and a money
To keep you satisfied

Listen

Well I loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need to feed my body and my soul
When I grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
How I'd have to keep on trying and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I started

Keep yourself alive, come on keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a money
To keep yourself alive

Wow
Watch out
Ah

Keep yourself alive, ooh, keep yourself alive, oh
Take you all your time and a money
And honey you'll survive

Do you think you're better every day
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Come on, keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive
Um, all you people keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive, come on keep yourself alive, um
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on, come on, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a money
And honey you'll survive

Keep yourself alive, come on, keep yourself alive
Ooh, all you people keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and money honey
Uh
Keep yourself alive
Oohh, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Um, keep yourself alive
