Misfits

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
