t's all a lie everything I've been told
It's a phony lullaby that your blindly sold
Like a dog gone mad in this raging heat
Like a gambler been had
And shunned to the streets with nothin' to eat
The damage is done so let's drink it up
We got nothing to lose it's up to you
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
I can't pay my bills and I can't pay the new tax
I got obsolete skills so they gave me the axe
So I kiss the world goodbye cause the times have changed
It ain't the same no the future is slain and I ain't to blame
The damage is done so let's drink it up
We got nothing to lose its up to you
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
C'mon you gotta get up you gotta get out
You gotta give it all that you can
You gotta turn it up and play it loud
Cause that's what livin' is all about
Get busy
I'm gonna ride every wave and break every chain in my way
Gonna live till I die drink and get high every day
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
C'mon get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
Get busy
Are livin'?
Get busy
Get busy livin' yeah
