IT'S MY LIFE

IT IS MY LIFE...
AND EVERYBODY'S LIFE

 

(Roger Atkins: Lyrics, Carl D' Errico: Music.

Sung by The Animals)

It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable some day

Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride the serpent
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command
It ain't no use, I'm breakin' loose,
Holdin' me down, stick around

But baby
Remember - remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women and their fortunes 
Who just want to mother orphans 
Are you gonna cry
When I'm squeezing them dry?
Taking all I can get
No regrets
When I ... openly lie
And live on their money
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
No complaints
So girl go out
Any doubt

And baby
Remember - remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine

It's my life and I'll do what I want - Don't push me
It's my mind and I'll think what I want - It's my life
It's my life and I'll do what I want - And I can do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want - You can't tell me
It's my life and I'll do what I want...

IT IS MY LIFE...
...AND EVERYBODY'S.

Να ακούς αυτό που ζητάει η ψυχή σου, 

να ακούς αυτό που λέει η καρδιά σου.

Να σταματήσεις να υπακούεις τυφλά την φωνή της λογικής.

Nα σταματήσεις να υπακούεις στην αυθεντία των άλλων.

Nα σταματήσεις να υποτάσσεσαι στις φωνές των σωτήρων.

Nα σταματήσεις να υποτάσσεσαι στον ορυμαγδό που μπαίνει από τα παράθυρα. 

Όλα αυτά και όλοι αυτοί έχουν τη δική τους σκοπιμότητα 

και λένε πράγματα που ίσως δεν σε αφορούν καν.
