I take a letter for the fortunate son
With a silver spoon in his hand
It just gets better for the lucky ones
And they're gettin' it while they can
Sure as the weather every mother's son's
Gonna grew up and be a man
Sure they can

Hey you - are you listening
Hey you - are you there - well
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live like that?
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live like that?
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live

One fine day you wake up okay
But there isn't anybody there
Get away take a holiday
Get the whole world out of your hair
Some days the bears eat you
Some days you gotta eat the bears
They're everywhere

Hey you - are you listening
Hey you - are you there - well
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live like that?
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live like that?
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live

And you can worry 'bout every little thing
You can handle it all alone
You can hurry what nature brings
Stand it on your own
You can hustle for the rest of your life
But your life won't last that long
Muscle it on everybody's fights
Get it for a song

Hey, anybody can do that
It don't cost that much, baby

Hey you - are you listening
Hey you - are you there - well
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live like that?
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live like that?
Do you really, do you really
Do you really want to live
