I Deserve to Be Alive

I might be problematic
But that’s always automatic
I’ll never take a dive
I deserve to be alive

I’ve got a checkered past
The damage done will last
Guilt’s beyond a nine to five
I deserve to be alive

I’m spinning my wheels
Made no business deals
Got no capitalist drive
I deserve to be alive

My future is uncertain
And it’s my anxious burden
Got no kids or wives
I deserve to be alive

I’ve broken every cycle
Without praying to St. Michael
Put down the pocket knives
You deserve to be alive
You deserve to have some fun
You deserve to be the one
Who keeps spreading the love
They’ll never get enough

The past is gone forever
Prepare for sunny weather
We’re a family, not a hive
We deserve to be alive
We deserve to be alive
We deserve to be alive
We deserve nothing less
Than life’s very best
