Keep Yourself Alive (Live at the Montreal Forum, 1981)

[Intro]
Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ma, ma, ma, oh, oh
Ha
You gotta shake it out
Shake it out
Shake it out
Ooh, yeah
Love, a little bit of love
A little bit of love
A little bit of love, eh
Hey, ooh, ooh, ooh
My babe, babe, baby
Secure
Keep yourself alive!

[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
But 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]
Yeah
Hit me, yeah

[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
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

[Chorus]
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
