[Verse 1]
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
How to 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 shoppin' alley way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your folks are telling you
To be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are
[Chorus]
Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
[Verse 2]
Well I've 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
And I'll 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 had 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
Still be where I started
[Chorus]
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money honey
You'll survive
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
[Bridge]
N.C.
Do you think you're better every day
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
[Chorus]
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive mm
You take your time and take your money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive...
