[Intro]
Come on, keep yourself
Everybody, everybody
Keep yourself, keep yourself, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself, keep yourself, keep yourself alive, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
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
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 superstar
I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are
[Chorus]
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
[Guitar Solo]
Hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Well, I've 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
Grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal
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, rode a million miles
I'd still be where I started, same as when I started
[Chorus]
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
