Push your care, push your burdens aside
Erase everything inside and leave just one thing on your mind

You only live once so just go fucking nuts! (Go!)

Live life hard
Live life hard
You only get one shot
So shoot!

With every breath you take you're dying
With every step we take we're falling apart
If we only had one chance we'd breathe
Let's take the chance right now and scream
You only live one life
For a very short time
So make every second divine

Go!

Live life hard
Live life hard

Are you still breathing?
It's your heart that's beating inside
That keeps us alive
And for the very first time
We're pushing aside (to surrender)
Everything that I see in my eyes
Except for the one thing on my mind
That I am alive
For the very first time!

For the first time
Pushing worry aside
For the first time
Pushing worry aside

Erase everything inside
Erase everything inside
Erase everything inside and leave just one thing

You only get one shot!

You only live once so just go fucking nuts
You only live once so just go fucking nuts
You only live once, go fucking nuts
You only live once so just go fucking nuts

Live life hard
Live life hard
Live life hard
Live life hard

    Lyrics are a bit off at times. Here are the lyrics from the book:

    Push your care, push your burdens aside Erase everything inside and leave just one thing on your mind You only live once so just go fucking nuts! Muah...go!

    Live life hard (2x)

    You only get one shot so shoot!

    With every breathe you take you're dying with every step we take we're falling apart If we only had one chance we'd breathe, so let's take the chance right now and scream

    You only live one life, for a very short time, so make every second divine

    GO! Live life hard (2x)

    Are you still breathing? It's your heart that's beating inside, that keeps us alive And for the very first time we're pushing aside To surrender everything that I see in my eyes Except for the one thing on my mind, that I am alive! For the very first time!

    For the very first time pushing worry aside (2x) Erase everything inside (3x) and leave just one thing!

    You only get one shot! You only live once so just go fucking nuts (4x) Live life hard (4x)

    Great song. The obvious meaning is to live life to it's fullest and don't waste time worrying about bullshit or what comes after life. Enjoy the one life you know you have for sure. The video also gives another interesting spin. The band is being shot by all the people that generally tell kids to "stay away" from heavy metal music (teachers, parents, priests, police officers, etc). Them being shot is symbolic of "you can try to tear us down and kill us, but we're here to stay as long as kids are digging our music." Great fucking song.
