What's Keeping Them Alive?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Spent so many hours worried what people say
Approvals and rejections and opinions of the day
Of the day and I won't take it serious or let those feelings stay
Let it stay, keep on movin' forward and let's do it anyway
Ohohoh, stale lives (x2)
Time spent, live went, no action and no drive
And I can't tell what's keeping them all alive, what's keeping them alive
You were sittin' in an arm chair, now we're calling out commands
Intimidating everybody but we must take a stand
Take a stand and I won't let it break me and I'm not gonna stay
We'll stay, gotta keep on moving, gonna do it anyway
Ohohoh, stale lives (x2)
Time spent, live went, no action and no drive
And I can't tell what's keeping them all alive, what's keeping them alive
We keep on talkin', makes you feel like you got something to do, no one cares no more what is lies and what is truth
What is lies and what is truth
Truth
Ohohoh, stale lives (x2)
Time spent, live went, no action and no drive
And I can't tell what's keeping them all alive, what's keeping them alive
