You Only Live Once

You only live once
That's all you ever get
You only live once
Now don't you people fret
You only live once
Hello goodbye it's a sure bet
You only live once 

Do you believe in resurrection friend
One existence is all you gonna get
You live you die amen the end
Born again that's not gonna happen
Ashes to ashes dust to dust no pretend

You only  live  once
You are not here for very long 
You only live once
Soon you will be dead and gone
You only live once
Singing the same old song
You only live once

Make the most of the time you got
Enjoy life's pleasure with no pain
Remembered when gone I think not
Just get on with it play the game
Friend you only get one shot 

Sow your seed and a legacy leave
Your DNA will justify your existence 
You will leave somebody behind to grieve
Just but a grain of sand you are
A mere blink in time then you leave

The holy men tell you a tall tale
The virgin Mary you're pulling my leg
The holy grail search me without fail
Control the masses with religion
Liberty equality and fraternity curtail

You only live once
That's all you ever get
You only live once
Now don't you people fret
You only live once
Hello goodbye it's a sure bet
You only live once
