Playing the game
With the chips on my shoulder
Checking in the mirror
As my coffee cup gets colder Stagger and swagger
Combing my hair
If tomorrow's not there
Then at least today's all mine While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive Strutting my stuff
I'm blagging the damage
From coupling with headlines
I was suckled on salvage The fighting's exciting
The age is dramatic
I'm crackling with static
Just jiving to survive While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive Take a stroll down the side roads
I know you want to
A shock in the dark
Can be good for your heart, oh yeah While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive Scuffling along
On the crest of a wave
Laughing and grafting
Or jerking and working Striking a match
Where life is a gas
I need the flash
To make it all worthwhile While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
