Keep On Livin'
Le Tigre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You Hide Inside, So Not Okay
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

What If You Remember More Today
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

The Phone Rings But There's Too Much To Say
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

You Tell Them To Go When You Wish They Would Stay
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'
You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'
You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'
You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'

Disproportionate Reactions Just Won't Fade
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

Every Dude You See Puts You In A Rage
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

Or Stupid Shit Just Maks You Cry
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

Your Friends Are Worried You Won't Tell Them Why
Keep On, Keep On Livin'

You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'
You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'
You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'
You Gotta Keep On, Keep On Livin'

Look Up To The Sky, Sky, Sky
Take Back Your Own Tonight
You'll Find More Than You See

It's Time Now Now Get Ready
So You Can Taste That Sweet Sweet Cake
And Feel The Warm Water In A Lake Ya Know
What About That Nice Cool Breeze
And Hear The Buzzing Of The Bumble Bees

Just Live Beyond Those Neighborhood Lives
And Go Past The Yard Outside
And Push Through Your Greatest Fears
And Live Past Your Memories Ters 'cause

You Don't Need To Scratch Inside
Just Please Hold Onto Your Pride And
So Don't Let Them Bring You Down

And Don't Let Them Fuck You Around 'cause
Those Are You Arms, That Is Your Heat
And No No They Can't Tear You Apart
They Can't Take It Away, No

This Is Your Time This Is Your Life And
This Is Your Time This Is Your Life And
This Is Your Time This Is Your Life And

This Is Your Time This Is Your Life And
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'

Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'

Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
Keep On Livin'
