๐ Lyrics
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
May you 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, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and the 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 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, same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive
Oh, and take you all your time and the money
Honey, you'll survive (shake it)
Keep yourself alive (whoa), keep yourself alive
Oh, it take you all your time and the money, but, honey, you would survive
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
Oh, you take my time and take more money, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive (come on), keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive (come on, come on), keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, oh, yeah, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money, honey, you will survive
Take you all your time and money, honey, ooh, you will survive
May you 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, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and the 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 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, same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive
Oh, and take you all your time and the money
Honey, you'll survive (shake it)
Keep yourself alive (whoa), keep yourself alive
Oh, it take you all your time and the money, but, honey, you would survive
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
Oh, you take my time and take more money, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive (come on), keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive (come on, come on), keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, oh, yeah, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money, honey, you will survive
Take you all your time and money, honey, ooh, you will survive
