So come away from the man nicotine
Cos you might not just come back again
Fire engine is still coming
Try and put it out from now till then

Chorus
Hey Live it up now
Hey Give it up now
Better not waste my final days
Better that I think that I just don't go
Following in those same old ways
Better just let my peoples know

Oh my sister beautiful
Life can be so hard so cruel
They say its all give and take
More the choices we all make
I can't sleep and I cant hear
Her pictures in my head
Hope her eyes are open wide
What you gonna do with my life

Brother man, head in a cloud
Will you keep your feet on the ground
When youre fooling running with the wrong crowd
I cant sleep and I cant hear
His pictures in my head
If you really really want to be free, ooh my baby come with me

Let my people know
Kia hiwa ra ki tenei tuku
Whakarongo ki te tangi o te korimako
