Go ahead and live your life and love it every day 'Cause if you don't, I think you'll see How it slowly slips away Till one day you wake and find All your dreams committed suicide and there you go You got a dead man on your hands Now everyone has other lives in mind Once they've taken care of needs But won't it blow their minds How quickly time flies And that's all to life that there's goin' to be So be careful what you pretend to be Choose it well what you think you're goin' to be 'Cause what you pretend is exactly what you'll be We all admire a man who's free One who dares to speak his mind A friend who disagrees without apologies But I've heard that leads to jail sometimes So be careful what you pretend to be Choose it well what you think you're goin' to be 'Cause what you pretend is exactly what you'll be Now if you've planned to live your life just so A simple road without a bend As you walk that line, I think you'll find friend There's changes down the road you didn't figure in Go ahead and live your life and love it every day 'Cause if you don't, I think you'll see How it slowly slips away Till one day you wake and find All your dreams committed suicide and there you go You got a dead man on your hands
