[Verse 1]
Have you heard about the 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
[Pre Chorus]
Don't panic, don't lose control
Keep your head, keep ahold
Act normal there's nothing wrong
Stay cool, just carry on
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
You gotta live life for yourself, can't live life for anyone else
You gotta live life, that's all you do
Nobody gonna live their life for you
[Guitar Solo]
[Post Chorus]
Live life, you gotta live life
You gotta live life, you gotta live life
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre Chorus]
Right-wing fascists beat up the blacks
Then they salute the Union Jack
You can't pretend there's nothing wrong
It's not the end, so just carry on
[Chorus]
You gotta live life for yourself, can't live life for anyone else
You gotta live life, that's all you do
Nobody gonna live their life for you
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Ooh, life's a mother, ooh, life's a mother
Ooh, life's a mother, ooh, life's a mother
[Chorus]
You gotta live life for yourself, can't live life for anyone else
You gotta live life, that's all you do
Nobody gonna live their life for you
[Post Chorus]
Live life, you gotta live life
You gotta live life, you gotta live life
