๐ Lyrics
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Tried 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 shopping alley way
But I never saw my face in any window, any day
Now they say your folks are telling you
"Be a super star"
But I tell you just be satisfied
And stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive, ooh
Keep yourself alive, ooh
Take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
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 troubles 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
Same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive, ooh
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, oh, yeah
Keep yourself alive, ooh
It'll take your time and money
To keep you satisfied
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive, ooh
Take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
Keep yourself alive, keep on
Keep yourself alive, ooh
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on, come on
Keep yourself alive
Get it, get it, get it, boy
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money, honey
You'll survive
Keep you satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Tried 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 shopping alley way
But I never saw my face in any window, any day
Now they say your folks are telling you
"Be a super star"
But I tell you just be satisfied
And stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive, ooh
Keep yourself alive, ooh
Take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
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 troubles 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
Same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive, ooh
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, oh, yeah
Keep yourself alive, ooh
It'll take your time and money
To keep you satisfied
Do you think you're better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive, ooh
Take you all your time and money
Honey, you'll survive
Keep yourself alive, keep on
Keep yourself alive, ooh
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on, come on
Keep yourself alive
Get it, get it, get it, boy
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money, honey
You'll survive
Keep you satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
