Rise Against › Lyrics › Alive and Well

Nows the time to rearrange your life
Live for something outside of your own mind
We all dream the same dream every night
To burn the world that you call civilized

Alive and well, I live to be alive
And I live to always strive, for something more
Alive and well, I'll never understand
The who, what, why or when of you tonight

We face the stares of judgment and almost everyday
The shaking heads of disapproval say
Pray for you to give me something
Then find out that there was nothing else

Alive and well, I live to be alive
And I live to always strive, for something more
To be alive and well, I'll never understand
The who, what, why or when of you tonight

Recite the words inside
Realize that this is nothing without your voice
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving up, not giving up Lord
And I'll blame the worst on you, I know what's wrong

Alive and well, I live to be alive
And I live to always strive for something more
'Cause I'm alive and well, nothing ventured, nothing gained
And I don't need to explain myself to you, myself to you
