Live Life U.S. single mix (US Album Edit)-The 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 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
