Live Life

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 a hold


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 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



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 can do


Nobody gonna live your life for you


Live life, you gotta live life


You gotta live life, you gotta live life

Most of the bad reviews I saw concerning Kink's albums concerned the downer themes of the songs and the misfits they often described. They were the best at painting a portrait of screw-ups in their songs.

You're totally right, although the Kinks produced some of the best music of all time, they almost got universally bad reviews, which shows you how much the so-called music critics really know. Thanks for the song and God Save The Kinks!

It's just unfortunate that you couldn't find the extended UK album version. It'd definitely be worth trying to find.

I bought it when it came out, wore it out, and bought another copy. Great album by a great band.

That was my thought with my YT channel ~ get the Kinks out ~ their albums got such crappy reviews by musical know nothings ~ let the people find out for themselves and make their own decisions...you got to Live Life ~ thanks for all the great comments everyone

@charlysaenz I not the poster but to answer your question the reissued cd has 4 bonus tracks on it. One of which is the U.S. single mix of this song.
