Life's hard - no joke! Like a chain around your throat Slave to the life out on the streets You're down, but not out - you're tryin' to break out from here But it calls you back again... You say, 'Leave me be, I just need a little time.' Yeah - time to die in a concrete grave! You can say 'Just let me live my life.' This is it - it's all you get! You only get... One shot, one shot at life - don't let it pass you by One shot, one shot at life - you only get one shot at life... No light with the dawn. No future, can go on - all lies! Your life is in you hands You want to die, you want to quit. Wake up - that's just a pile of shit! If you want to break free, you've got to try... One shot, one shot at life - don't let it pass you by One shot, one shot at life - it's gone if you don't try One shot, one shot at life - make a stand and reach for the sky One shot, one shot at life - you only get one shot at life...
