Tell all the rest there is a way out
 If you want to get out
 Help me out
 Everybody thinks he knows the
 way 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...
