Lyrics
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.
Running round circles
Yeah we just running round circles
Staring at the screen
Tying up our laces
And just the first drink to be offered
Working the machine
The TV's reading out the news
Got everything to lose, oh
Yeah, feel so good
So good to be alive
Yeah, feel so good
So good to be alive
Running from the masses
Staying in line the taxes
Waiting for return
And? Got an education
We drifted? Repetition
A lot of time to burn
The TV is not the news
Got everything to lose, oh
Yeah feel so good, so good to be alive
Ohh feel so good, good to be alive (good, good, good)
Yeah feel so good, feel good to be alive
Ooh, ooh
Yeah feel so good, so good to be alive
Yeah feel so good, feel good to be alive
