Dead Or Alive Lyrics by Eryn Allen Kane

Aviary: Act II

2016

[Verse 1]
I don't need your money
No I don't need your privileged things
All I need is justice
For all the things my family seen
Never been accepted
No, never had no shiny things
Always been exempted
'Cause you only know me by my name

[Chorus]
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive

[Verse 2]
You are not the past, no, no
They want you to hold on to yeah
You are only present yeah
And far from the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
My name is not defeated
My name is not contained
My name is not uneducated
My name is not refrained
My name is not objectified
My name is not defined
My name is all that remains
My name is all mine

[Chorus]
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive

[Bridge]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Baby we've got to come together
Love each other
No, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
(You got to hold on)
Dead or alive, survive
(Said you got to hold on)
Dead or alive, survive

[Interlude]
Alright y'all so now we gotta break. So what I want you to do is grab your neighbor and hold on an tell 'em "I love ya". Say "I love ya!"And I want you to repeat after me. Y'all ready?
Here we go, 1, 2, 3 Go!

If you don't know what to do, sing it
(If you don't know what to do)
Do what you know's good for you
(Do what you know's good for you)
If you don't know what to do
(If you don't know what to do)
Do what you know's good for you
(Do what you know's good for you)
Now you know just what to do
(Now you know just what to do)
Show them that you ain't no fool
(Show them that you ain't no fool)

[Chorus]
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive
Dead or alive, survive, survive, survive

[Outro]
We've gotta come together
We've gotta love each other
Oh no, no, no, no, no
