I was told a million times Of all the troubles in my way Might to grow a little wiser Little better every day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started Bread and butter for a smile Well, I sold a million mirrors In a shop in alleyway But I never saw my face In any window any day Well, they say your folks are telling you Be a superstar But I tell you just be satisfied To stay right where you are Keep yourself alive, yeah Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money, honey You'll survive Well, I've loved a million women In a belladonic haze And I ate a million dinners Brought to me on silver trays Give me everything I need To feed my body and my soul And I'll grow a little bigger Maybe that can be my goal I was told a million times Of all the people in my way How I had to keep on trying And get better every day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started Same as where I started Keep yourself alive, c'mon Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money, honey You'll survive Shake it Keep yourself alive, whoa Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money To keep me satisfied Do you think you're better every day? No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave Keep yourself alive, c'mon Keep yourself alive You take your time and take my money To keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive, c'mon Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive, c'mon, c'mon Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and the money To keep me satisfied Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Take you all your time and money, honey You will survive Keep you satisfied

A canção “Keep Yourself Alive” foi escrita pelo guitarrista Brian May e marcou o primeiro single da banda, lançada junto com “Son and Daughter” como a faixa B.
Embora tenha sido a faixa de abertura do álbum autointitulado de 1973, o disco foi largamente ignorado e a música não entrou nas paradas, nem no Reino Unido nem nos Estados Unidos.
Em julho de 1975, o single foi relançado nos EUA com “Lily of the Valley” e “God Save the Queen” nas costas, mas ainda não conseguiu um bom desempenho comercial.
Em 2008, a revista Rolling Stone classificou “Keep Yourself Alive” como a 31ª melhor música de guitarra de todos os tempos em sua lista “The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time”.
