I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Might to 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 alleyway
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well, they say your folks are telling you
To 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 money
But 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 ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as where I started
Keep yourself alive, c'mon
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money, honey
You'll survive
Shake it
Keep yourself alive, whoa
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better everyday?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive, c'mon
Keep yourself alive
You take your time and take my money
To keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, c'mon
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, c'mon, c'mon
Keep yourself alive
It'll 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
