Well I'm tryin' to stay 'live
And keep my sideburns too
Ask all the people
It's getting hard to do
You've got a choice what's yours to make
To keep a bad job or take a break
And try to live in song and silence
With no ideals of violence
Tryin' to stay 'live
Buddy how 'bout you
Tryin' to stay 'live
You gotta keep real cool
Ask all the brothers
Getting hard to be fooled
Mad blood and happy crackers standin' firm
Hope I leave town 'fore it starts to burn
And try to live in song and silence
With no ideals of violence
Tryin' to stay 'live
Buddy how 'bout you
