Live Life

[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
