If you want to stay alive
You must learn to thrive on jive
You must learn to lie and like it
Or at least not mind too much

Got to teach yourself to smile and say
“I didn’t want that anyway”
Give up. Give in. Don’t fight it
Or you’ll get behind too much

Go with the flow
Of the river of jive
If you fake it, you can make it
You can float along for free

Don’t feel bad ‘bout how you’re living
Just be glad you’re still alive
Let the river of jive
Bear you slowly out to sea

If you want to make it pro
Got to show them what you know
Got to empty out your wallet
Empty out your brain and heart

Once they see you ain’t got nothin’
Then they’ll grin and call you cousin
And they’ll spread the word ‘bout how they heard
You’r so rich and kind and smart

Go with the flow
Of the river of jive
Don’t defend it. Just pretend it
No one else will ever know

Jive is mystery and magic
Quite profound and deeply tragic
Once you’re baptised in this river
Just a wish can make it so
Just a wish can make it so
