about

Die Tryin' (3:33) a veiled commentary on the modern life of self-interest
through questioning introspection via straight ahead rock & roll. (BPM 160)

lyrics

DO YOU WANNa LIVE OR DO YOU WANNA DIE TRYIN'
do you wanNA DANCE OR DO YOU WANNA SIT there and CRY
do you want the world to stop so you can finally get off
or do you want it all so you can say you'VE had enough
AAH there's much, much more to this
so do you wanna live or do you wanna die tryin'

do you wanna get things done or work your life away
OR DO YOU LIKE THE PLACE YOU'RE IN AND REALLY WANNA STAy
do you really HAVE THE BLUES AND KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYIN'
or do you really think IT'S ALL A BIG game THEY're playin'
well there's much, much more to this
so do you wanna live or do you wanna die tryin', AAH, kill IT

DO YOU WANNa LIVE OR DO YOU WANNA DIE TRYIN'
or do you wanna WEAR YOURSELF OUT MAKING a dime
do you wanna FIND THE ANSWER TO SATISFY YA
or do you wanna SING AND DANCE AWAY THE NIGHT
AAH there's much, much more to this
so do you wanna live or do you wanna die tryin'

YEAH THERE'S MUCH, MUCH MORE TO THIS MY FRIEND
SO DO YOU WANNA LIVE OR DO YOU WANNA DIE TRYIN', AHH LIVE IT
