Staying Alive
Kelly Family · Other Songs - Kelly Family
Tell all the rest there is a way out
if you want to get out
help me out
everybody thinks he knows a way out
but nobody dares that's why we're stuck in the ground
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Welcome, welcome, to the real side of life
Everybody's smiling, nobody's crying
but everybody's kniving everyone from the back
Wake up little boy
'cause you're living in your dreams
open your eyes to the real side of life
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Welcome, welcome, to the real side of life
I try to be good (yes you are)
but no one seems to care (oh here he goes again)
the harder i try (you never tried)
the more they try to break me (you never tried anything you)
i try to be good (oh here he goes again)
but no one seems to care
the harder i try (i told you to do what they told you)
the more they try to break me (you damn kid)
welcome, welcome to the real side of life
Is it dope you want or is it a gun you want
you spell out what you want
and then you'll get what you want
i want it all and i want it now
i'm gonna go ahead and grab it all just for myself
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Welcome, welcome, to the real side of life
