When you were young

And your heart was an open book

You used to say live and let live

You know you did

You know you did

You know you did

But if this ever changin' world

In which we live in

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die

Live and let die



What does it matter to ya

When you got a job to do you got to do it well

You got to give the other fella hell



You used to say live and let live

You know you did

You know you did

You know you did

But if this ever changin' world

In which we live in

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die

Live and let die
