I'M Gonna Live The Life - Diamanda Galas

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song

I’m going to stand for right

And always shun the wrong

If I’m in the crowd

Or if I’m alone

On the street or in my home

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song

Every day, everywhere

On that busy thoroughfare

Folk may watch me, some may spot me Say I’m foolish, but I don’t care

I can’t sing one thing

And then live another

Be a saint by day

And a devil undercover

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song

I’m going to stand for right

And always shun the wrong

If I’m in the crowd

Or if I’m alone

On the street or in my home

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song, yes!

Every day, every night

I must always walk in the light

Some mistake me, underrate me Because I want to do what’s right

I can’t go to church

And shout all day Sunday

Go out and get drunk

Stay Wasted all day monday

I’ve got to live the life

I sing about in my song

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song

I’m going to live the life

I sing about in my song
