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 IRA are killing everybody else      Don't panic, don't lose control   Keep your head, keep a hold   Act normal, there's nothing wrong   Stay cool, just carry on      You gotta live life 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 the 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   You can't live for anyone else   You gotta live life, that's all you do   Nobody gonna live your life for you      Live life   You gotta live life   You gotta live life   You gotta live life      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 pretend there's nothing wrong   It's not the end so just carry on      You gotta live life for yourself   You can't live for anyone else   You gotta live life, that's all you do   Nobody gonna live your life for you      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 do   Nobody gonna live your life for you      Live life   You gotta live life   You gotta live life   You gotta live life
