I Just Want to Stay Alive Lyrics

Well,the bank's got all the money

The Arabs got all the oil

I'm sitting here stuck in rush hour traffic

My blood's getting ready to boil

Well, it sure takes a lot for successful living

You've gotta have a lot a drive

I think I'll cast my ballot for survival

I just want to stay alive

Well, I just want to stay alive

I just want to stay alive

I'm cutting down corners on the road to glory

I just want to stay alive

Well, we're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun

Pointed between the eyes

We argue about whose fingers on the trigger

But we better try to realize

That it don't make a bit of difference

Who's on the other side

It's only somebody whose scared to death

Saying I just want to stay alive

I just want to stay alive

Well, I just want to stay alive

I just want to stay alive

I'm cutting down corners on the road to glory

I just want to stay alive

Well, I don't give a damn about your solution

I just want to stay alive

And I ain't got time to think about pollution

I just want to stay alive

And I just made a payment on a color TV

So I just want to stay

I just want to stay,

I just want to stay alive

That's right

Yeah, I just want to stay alive

I just want to keep eating drinking and sleeping and living

And chasing them women

So Ronnie take your finger off that button

Cause I got a stack of Merle Haggard records

I'm gonna listening to until the Aliens land

Gonna stay alive

Just saying I don't want to die I just want to stay alive

I just want to stay alive

I just want to stay alive
