Lyrics

Some people think that life’s disposable

Just throw it all away

They’re sure they’ll get it right the next time

Some people think that life’s expendable

A price too much to pay

They can’t stand it just to be alive

CHORUS

I don’t care what people say

I’m gonna live my life today

I won’t wait until tomorrow comes

So much to do, so much to see

So many things I want to be

You can say it’s just my rule of thumb

To live a life that long and full and bright

Is all I want to do

Leave my worries far being me

I’m not the only one to say I like my life

You being you, me being me

Why do you look at me that way

Is everything all right

Don’t you think I’m better than you

Deep down inside I’m just a man who wants to be someone

Why don’t you be someone too?

[Chorus]

Some people think that life’s disposable

Just throw it all away

They’re sure they’ll get it right the next time

Some people think that life’s expendable

A price too much to pay

They can’t stand it just to be alive

[Chorus]
