Live Life Lyrics - Kinks

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

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: ASHLEY O (Miley Cyrus) - On A Roll​ - LYRICS 

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
