Keep Yourself Alive

Singer: Queen (Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor)
Written by: Brian May
Album: Queen

I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Might he grow a little wiser
A little better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'll still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
When 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 teling you
Be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a 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 ev'rything I need to feed my body and my soul
And I'll 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 have 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'll still be where I started
Same as where I started

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Oh... take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied

Taylor - Do you think you're better ev'ry day?
May - No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take your time and take my money
To keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a 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 yourself alive
