The Lyrics
[Axl:]
Well, you can tell by the way I screech and squawk-
I'm a rocker, man, no time to talk.
Music soft, like a symphony,
Techno-boogie-slide,
That's my new style, see.
And now it's all right. It's ok.
I'll wear my spandex some other day.
Ya'll think I'm nuts, well listen man,
Least I didn't start a group with Scott Weiland.
When CD is on the fritz and your career is in the shits,
You're still stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Sittin' with your shades and workin' on your braids,
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
[Slash:]
Ah man, I used to get so low and so damn high-
And then I'd puke on Duff, and make him cry.
Contraband sucks, but what can you do?
With my top hat, man, I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. VR is ok
I'll get rid of Scott some other day.
We can try to understand
What the hell I was thinkin' when I started this band.
Whether you're black, or really, only half,
You're still stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
I'm about to quit and go back to Snakepit,
But we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
[Axl:]
CD goin' nowhere. somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
[Slash:]
VR goin' nowhere.
Somebody help me, yeah. stayin' alive.
[Dizzy:]
Well, you can tell by the way I braid my hair,
I'm worse then Axl, but I don't care.
Hookers N' Blow are going strong,
CD is taking much too long.
And now it's all right. It'll be fine.
You'll see the album by 2039.
I wish that I, could understand,
Why the hell am I still in this band?
Whether you're on weed or you're just Dizzy Reed,
You're still stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Listen to Tommy lyin' and all the fans cryin'
But we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
[Axl:]
CD goin' nowhere. somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
[Slash:]
VR goin' nowhere. somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' alive.
