Album: Life On Earth (2016)

Alive And Well

This life we live can be
Kinda crazy to me
'Unno what be goin' on
'Cuz so much is goin' on

Maybe it's the TV
Everything that I see
'Cuz 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 is

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

This 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 change

Maybe it's the TV
Everything that I see
'Cuz 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 would be much better than it is

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

You are an 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 are

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

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
