text: 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 Id 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 to be a super star
  But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive 
  Itll take you all your time and your money
  Keep you satisfied
  Well Ive loved a million women in a belladonnic 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 Ill 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 Id still be where I started, same as when I started
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive 
  Itll take you all your time and your money
  To keep yourself alive 
  Woah
  Watchout
  Aww
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive 
  You take your time and take my money
  And honey, youll survive
  Do you think youre better every day?
  No, I just think Im two steps nearer to my grave
  Come on
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive 
  All you people
  Keep yourself alive
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive 
  All you people
  Keep yourself alive
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive
  Itll take you all your time and a money
  And honey, youll survive
  Keep yourself alive 
  Keep yourself alive 
  All you people
  Keep yourself alive
  Take you all your time and money, honey 
  Keep yourself alive
  Keep yourself alive
  Kepp yourself alive
  Keep yourself alive
