Pick up yourself Joe

Tell all the rest there is a way out

If you want to get out

Help me out

Everybody thinks he knows theway out

But nobody dares that's why we're

stuck in the ground

Help me out



Staying alive with a trigger in your

head

Staying alive with a trigger in your

head

Welcome, welcome to the real side

of life



Everybody's smiling, nobody's

crying

But everybody's kniving everyone

from the back

Wake up little boy

'Cause you're living in your dreams

Open your eyes to the real side of

life



Staying alive with a trigger...



I try to be good (yes you are)

But no one seems to care (oh here

he goes again)



The harder I try (you never tried)

The more they try to break me (you

never tried anything you)

I try to be good (oh here he goes

again)

But no one seems to care

The harder I try (I told you to do

what they told you)



The more they try to break me (you

damn kid)

Welcome, welcome to the real side

of life



Is it dope you want or is it a gun

you want

You spell out what you want

And then I'll get you what you

want

I want it all and I want it now

I'm gonna go ahead and grab it all

Just for myself



Staying alive with a trigger...
