Killing Yourself to Live (Live in 1973)
How people look, and people stare.
Well, I don't think that I even care.
You rot your life away, and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live!
Killing yourself to live!
Killing yourself to live!
Just take a look around you, what do you see?
Pain, suffering, and misery.
It's not the way that the world was planned.
It's a pity you don't understand!
Killing yourself to live!
Killing yourself to live!
I'm telling you, believe in me!
Nobody else will tell you!
Open your eyes, and see the lies!
Oh yeah!
Smoke it.
Get high.
You think that I'm crazy, and baby, I know that it's true.
Before that you know it I think that you'll go crazy too.
I don't know if I'm up or down.
Well, the black and whites are blue and brown.
The colours in my life are all different somehow.
Little boy blue's a big girl now.
So you think it's me who's strange,
but you've never had to make the change.
Never give your trust away.
You'll end up paying till your dying day.
Well, I don't think that I even care.
You rot your life away, and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live!
Killing yourself to live!
Killing yourself to live!
Just take a look around you, what do you see?
Pain, suffering, and misery.
It's not the way that the world was planned.
It's a pity you don't understand!
Killing yourself to live!
Killing yourself to live!
I'm telling you, believe in me!
Nobody else will tell you!
Open your eyes, and see the lies!
Oh yeah!
Smoke it.
Get high.
You think that I'm crazy, and baby, I know that it's true.
Before that you know it I think that you'll go crazy too.
I don't know if I'm up or down.
Well, the black and whites are blue and brown.
The colours in my life are all different somehow.
Little boy blue's a big girl now.
So you think it's me who's strange,
but you've never had to make the change.
Never give your trust away.
You'll end up paying till your dying day.
