Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Stay Alive

1. The sun comes up

The sun goes down

But everything stays the same

It’s the same old movie

Or the same old song

Only the players change

It’s either 9 to 5

Or work all night

Everybody’s got to pay their dues

One half are wrong

One half are right

Sometimes you win

Sometimes you lose

Saying me oh my

We all got to try

To stay alive

And we’ll get by

If we all try

To stay alive

There’s problems here

There’s problems there

We got confusion everywhere

We’re all working for a meal

Or to get a better deal

You only want what’s fair

I’m stuck on stage

You’re stuck at home

Everybody wants to trade places

So I’ll be you and you be me

Nothing changes except the faces

Chorus

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Repeat 1

Chorus

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

We got to stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Me oh my, we all got to try

We got to try to stay alive

We got to get by, we all got to try

We all got to try, we got to stay alive

We got to survive, saying me oh my

We all got to try, to stay, stay alive

We all got to try, to get by and stay alive

Stay alive x9

We got to survive, we all got to try

To stay alive, alive, alive

We got to got try to survive

We all got to try to get by, to get by and get by

We got to try and stay alive
