Lyrics

Walkin' down the street wit' a sad face Always complaining 'bout the rat race Nobody said that life was free and easy Your job it sucks, it's on the line Your wife act mean, your kids all cryin' I need something that's guaranteed to please me But listen, I'll tell you I'm glad to be alive and kicking I'm glad to hear my heart's still ticking So pass me the wine, baby, and let's make some love Sometimes things don't work out the way you want I don't know if I'm gonna laugh or cry Uh-huh Yeah Mmm Your friends'll never call you back You're feelin' such a sad sack Like some snack that's gone all cold and greasy, yes The car you drive a rusty wreck It's always you that pays the check Who said life was warm and peachy? But listen, yeah, I'll tell you I'm glad to be alive and kickin' My blood is up, my pulse is quickened Pass the wine bowl but let's make some love Sometimes things don't work out the way you want I wonder why, I wonder why (ah yeah) Sometime mistakes come back to haunt you, baby And I don't know whether to laugh or cry (yeah) (Yeah, c'mon) I got to be alive and kickin' Glad to be alive and kickin' Glad to have a pot to piss in Glad to be alive and kickin' We got to be alive and kickin' Got'n yeah, come on, got to be, come, come on, company, ha, got to be, good to be Good to be alive and kickin' Good to be alive and kickin' Glad to see the plot is thickenin' Pass the wine, let's make some love Let's make some love Let's make some love Let's make some love
