Live And Let Die

When I was young and my heart was a broken book
I used to say live and let live
You know I did
You know I did
You know I did
And if this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry.
To live and let die
Live and let die
When I was young, I often thought that a store bought product
Had as much to give as any loved one
You know it's true
You know it's true
You know it's true
And then I found life's a bit more complicated
Makes me give it a try
To live and let die
Live and let die
It's really worse to get worse before it gets better
Why it's getting better all the time
You know it is
You know it is
You know it is
Now I must warn you all a little bit
I'm a walking time bomb
To live and let die
Live and Let Die
Some people say Que sera/good riddance
Have we really fallen that much behind?
You think we did
You think we did
You think we did
And any kid growing up in the United States of America needs to give it a try
To live and Let Die
Live and Let Die
With all your friends and your local contacts
I wonder who can save you now
I wonder who
I wonder who
I wonder who
What if God himself gave up on all of us and decided to destroy all mankind?
To live and let die
Live and Let Die
Live and Let Die
Live and Let Die
