Live it up, and let it go
Your time is up before you know
In a world full of wonder
Don't let your troubles pull you under

You're telling me your life is tough
And what you need is stronger stuff
Well you can live under sedation
Or get up and cause an overnight sensation

Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it

You sit and watch your MTV
You dream away in a fantasy
If you don't dig the situation
Then get a guitar and rock the nation

You can't hold back once you light the fuse
And if it feels alright, then let it roll
You got nothin to lose

Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it
