"Live and Let Die" as written by Paul James Mccartney and Linda Louise Mccartney....
When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
What does it matter to ya
When you got a job to do you got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell
You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
And your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
What does it matter to ya
When you got a job to do you got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell
You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die

"you gotta give the other fellow HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" what a phrase to live by!
"But if this ever-changing world in which we live in "
I like the GnR version...but the original was the best...
Others think it's, "but if this ever-changing world in which we live in..."
Still others argue it's, "but if tihs ever-changing world in which we're livin'..."
I'm guessing Paul wrote the third one but accidentally sung the second one and liked how it sounded, so he stuck with it.
Still love the song, though. And it works so well over the 007 intro.
