Live Life |
Have you heard about trouble throughout the land |
With the fascists and the left wing militants |
Out of work executives are killing themselves |
And the i.r.a. |
are killing everybody else |
Don’t panic, don’t lose control |
Keep your head, keep ahold |
Act normal there’s nothing wrong |
Stay cool, just carry on You gotta live life and be yourself |
You can’t live life for anyone else |
You gotta live life that’s all you do Nobody gonna live your life for you |
Don’t get depressed when you read in the press |
About world revolution and social unrest |
Try not to panic when you switch on the news |
And see crooked politicians and the unemployment queues |
It’s only life it’s really fine |
So don’t you believe all you read in the headlines |
Live life see it through |
Carry on it’s all you can do You gotta live life for yourself, can’t live for anyone else |
You gotta live life, that’s all you do Nobody gonna live their life for you |
Extra verse from long version: |
Trendy intellectuals always take action, |
For every cause that’s ever been in fashion. |
Weekend revolutionaries protest and sing |
Because they’re dedicated followers of any old thing. |
They got every solution for every revolution. |
They live in the slums just like the poor people do But they’d rather sniff coke instead of glue. |
Right-wing fascists beat up the blacks, |
Then they salute the union jack. |
You can’t pretent there’s nothing wrong, |
It’s not the end, so just carry on. |
Oh, life’s a mother, oh, life’s a mother |
Oh, life’s a mother, oh, life’s a mother |
You gotta live life for yourself, can’t live life for anyone else |
You gotta live life, that’s all you can do Nobody gonna live their life for you |
Live life, you gotta live life |
You gotta live life, you gotta live life |
