Alive and Well Lyrics

This life we live can be kinda crazy to me
Don't know what be going on
So much is going onMaybe it's the TV
Everything that I see
Cause some things are make believe
Cause some things make you believe
That if you get on the other side of the fence
That your life will be much better than it isBut if you're a fat man
Be a happy fat man
And if you're a poor man
Then be a happy poor man
I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself
But if you're alive and well
Just be alive and wellThis high society has got me wanting to be
Something that I am not
Want everything that I ain't got
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone other than me
But the fact still remains

Who I am will never changeMaybe it's the TV, everything that I see
Cause some things are make believe
But some things make you believe
That if you get on the other side of the fence
That your life will be much better than it isBut if you're a fat man
Be a happy fat man
And if you're a poor man
Then be a happy poor man
I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself
But if you're alive and well
Just be alive and wellYou are original
Ain't no others like you
So beautiful, special, wonderful too
And I know you wanna find a way to put a little extra on it
Ain't nothing wrong with trying to be more than
Who and what you areBut if you're a fat man
Be a happy fat man
And if you're a poor man
Then be a happy poor man
I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself
But if you're alive and well
Just be alive and well
But if you're a fat man
Be a happy fat man
And if you're a poor man
Then be a happy poor man
I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself
But if you're alive and well
Just be alive and well
