Life is taking you anywhere
Love on your mind
Heroin in your veins

You live your life like Rock ’n’ Roll
Excess is all that you extol

You are young and you are strong
You [bad word] the next best [bad word] along
You sell your soul for anything
Now hear all the stupid children sing:

Live fast and die young
We will never be wrong
Live fast and die young
Sweet youth, this is your song

You are proud and you are strong
You [bad word] the next best [bad word] along
You sell your soul for anything
Now hear my stupid children sing:

Live fast and die young
We will never be wrong
Live fast and die young
Sweet youth, this is your song
