Live Before You Die Lyrics - Social Distortion

When pressure's up and the stress is high 

And I wanna bid this world good bye 

I'm gonna bury my frustrations 

Grab some of life's satisfactions 

Yeah, I'm gonna live before I die 

I try to find some peace of mind 

When my life's treating me unkind, yeah 

Pain will be my motivation 

I'm gonna use my imagination 

Yeah, I'm gonna live before I die 

So close your eyes and embrace your memories 

Leave your troubles and your worries far behind 

Stop contemplating and start celebrating 

Yeah, you gotta live before you die 

I think of chances I didn't take 

I try to learn from my mistakes, yeah 

I'm tired of being pushed around now 

Life ain't gonna drag me down now 

Yeah, I'm gonna live before I die
