Come Alive
When I try to sit tight
I get nervous and confused
People's faces melt into
That look you always use
They set you up with dignity
They pull you down in pain
You have no control
So you really can't complain, ha
I don't want to give you lip
Or bust your Christmas chops
Stand up on a mountain
With a beer can and a mop
They scream until their neck bleeds
And jack off in the wind
Feeling all the power
It takes to be a general
Oh yeah
You gotta come alive
You gotta come alive
Okay so it's nothing
Nothing's what it is
You can say it's idiotic
I can't say it's his
You can find adventure
In someone else's life
Or you can criticize
When you need a lift
When I try to sit tight
I get nervous and confused
People's faces melt into
That look you always use
They set you up with dignity
They pull you down in pain
You have no control
So you really can't complain
Oh yeah
You gotta come alive
You gotta come alive
I don't want to give you lip
Or bust your Christmas chops
Stand up on a mountain
With a beer can and a mop
They scream until their neck bleeds
And jack off in the wind
Feeling all the power
It takes to be a general
It takes to be a president
It takes to be a healer
It takes to be a clown, hey
You
Gotta come alive
Gotta come alive
Come alive
Oh yeah
Come alive
I get nervous and confused
People's faces melt into
That look you always use
They set you up with dignity
They pull you down in pain
You have no control
So you really can't complain, ha
I don't want to give you lip
Or bust your Christmas chops
Stand up on a mountain
With a beer can and a mop
They scream until their neck bleeds
And jack off in the wind
Feeling all the power
It takes to be a general
Oh yeah
You gotta come alive
You gotta come alive
Okay so it's nothing
Nothing's what it is

I can't say it's his
