Stay Alive - Bachman-Turner Overdrive

The sun comes up, the sun goes down

But everything stays the same

It’s the same old movie or the same old song

Only the players change

It’s either 9 to 5 or work all night

Everybody’s got to pay their dues

One half are wrong, one half are right

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Saying me, oh my, we all got to try to stay alive

And we’ll get by if we all try to stay alive

There’s problems here, there’s problems there

We got confusion everywhere

We’re all working for a meal or to get a better deal

You only want what’s fair

I’m stuck on stage, you’re stuck at home

Everybody wants to trade places

So I’ll be you and you be me

Nothing changes except the faces

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

The sun comes up, the sun goes down

But everything stays the same

It’s the same old movie or the same old song

Only the players change

It’s either 9 to 5 or work all night

Everybody’s got to pay their dues

One half are wrong, one half are right

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

We got to stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Me, oh my, we all got to try

We got to try to stay alive

We got to get by, we all got to try

We all got to try, we got to stay alive

We got to survive, saying me, oh my

We all got to try, to stay, stay alive

We all got to try, to get by and stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

We got to survive, we all got to try

To stay alive, alive, alive, we got to try to survive

We all got to try to get by, to get by and get by

We got to try and stay alive
