THE SHELL CORPORATION LYRICS

"Get Busy Living, Or Get Busy Dying"

We’re taught from boyhood on to sing the anthems
They are fight songs
And now the songs we sing, jingoistic melody are
Fight songs
So what’s this all about?
Just follow orders, son, and march, son, die, son
Well you’ve got the will to choose
the fights you take make sure that it’s the right one

Your God, Your Oath, your friends your family
What will you die for?
Your car, your house, ikea furniture
Is this what life’s worth?

Steel up your gaze, square up your back and on the left, march right march
Into the jaws of jagged steel straight back we left march right march
Since the days, of lance and bow scared men have left marched right marched
For their god, their king, their city-state they left marched right marched

Your flag, ideal, your revolution
What will you die for?
Your life, a gift, but only worth it if it’s what you’ve lived for

It’s not worth living for if it’s not worth dying for
It’s not worth dying for if it’s not worth living for
Do not go quietly into that good night
But rage, rage, rage against the dying of the light
