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 did it matter to you
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"
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 did it matter to you
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"
