Queen – Keep Yourself Alive lyrics

I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Tried 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 Alley Way
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 to stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money 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 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

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money honey you'll survive
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money to keep me satisfied

Do you think you're better every day?
No I think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
You take your time and take more money, Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money
Honey you'll survive
