Don't bury me, I'm not yet dead Not a walking zombie with no head Not a Stepford wife made to obey Don't want to go through life that way
I'm alive, I'm alive That's what I say I'm alive, I'm alive Gonna live that way I'm alive, I'm alive That's what I say I'm alive and I'm gonna live today
Do robots dream of electric sheep? I need to live my dreams, not just in my sleep I've been holed up here, but it's time to leave I need to make my move while I've air to breathe
Don't give me drugs, no Novocaine I must be alive 'cause I still feel pain We were born with wings We were made to fly We were meant to live while we're still alive
Song Description: "I studied computer science in high school. I had an uncle at IBM who helped to develop the microdrive. I spent 4 years studying computer science, and when I graduated I got recruited at a big network solutions company. I was there for 5 years until the tech collapse left us all without jobs. Now I'm doing IT maintenance at a big box chain. Every day I get to work, fix the same problems and play solitaire until 5:30 when my boss isn't looking. Superchick never existed. We didn't sell 700,000 records. I never met all the amazing people that are my friends today. I didn't see 20,000 of them jumping up and down at our show in New Zealand. I never wrote and produced records. I never photographed covers for magazines and albums. I never shot music videos. I never tried surfing, bought my motorcycle or jumped out of a plane. I never met my wife.
Well, that's what would have happened if I'd done the "sensible" thing. But everyone is born with a destiny. God gives us talents that he means us to use. We are meant to live, while we're still alive.
(no disrespect intended to my fellow geeks in the computer industry - I'll probably be asking you for a job when this ride ends!)" - Max Hsu (Superchick)
