Keep Yourself Alive - 2011 Mix

(Take it up)

I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Mind 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 shopping 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, yeah
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and the money
Honey, you'll survive

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
Ooh, when I grow a little bigger maybe that could 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, come on
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, and take you all your time and the money, honey, you'll survive, shake

Keep yourself alive, whoa
Keep yourself alive
Oh, it'll take you all your time and the money to keep me 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
You take your 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
Take you all your time and the 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
Keep you satisfied
Keep yourself alive
