I'm Alive

(album: VI - 1987)

Everyday is such a test
When this world's such a mess
But I'll try hard, I'll do my best
Won't get bogged down, like all the rest
Got no hamsters in my head, no monkeys on my back
No chains and shackles, to hold me down
I wanna fly, I wanna fly

Cause I'm alive
I'm alive

The world could be such a better place
Who needs that garbage, it's all such a waste
Don't need the drugs, don't need the booze
Abuse that stuff you'll only loose
A big decision, make it right
It's a battle, win the fight
Everythings gonna be all right
I wanna fly, I wanna fly

I'm alive
I'm alive

Streets and rooms filled with negativity
Filled with gloom all the walking trash
Who the hell wants to live that? Not me
I'm no screwed up zombie part of the living dead
I wanna think have a clear head

Places to go, people to meet
Can't do this with your head in the sheets
Tear down all their walls, got the world by the balls
Got no hamsters in my head, no monkeys on my back
No chains and shackles, to hold me down
I wanna laugh, I wanna cry
