[verse 1]
You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
Oh, yeah, You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
You gotta run or fight, 
you gotta survive the night
you gotta fill ’em full o’ lead
You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
Oh, yeah, You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
You gotta keep a cool head 
Or you’ll join them livin’ dead

[chorus]
I know it sounds hopeless, I admit, it’s likely true
But we’re still livin’, so we can’t go feeling blue
For those who died, we gotta pay their dues
For those who live, we gotta keep singing the livin’ blues

[verse 2]
Grief, sorrow, I know you just want to cry
Oh, Grief, sorrow, I know you just want to cry
It’s not over, even when the end’s in sight
When in a tunnel, turn from the dark, face the light
But know that crying won’t save those who have already died
Grief, sorrow, I know you just want to cry
Oh, Grief, sorrow, I know you just want to cry
But you can’t give up yet, can’t say goodbye
Even when you just want to cry

[verse 3]
You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
Oh, yeah, You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
You gotta keep going, even when the road’s hard and long
For those that come after, they have to hear your song
You have to make ’em count, every drop spilled, every tear shed
You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
Oh, yeah, You gotta keep livin’ or you’ll join ’em livin’ dead
And maybe soon this will just be another story read
On how you had to keep livin’ or you’d join ’em livin’ dead

[final chorus]
I know it sounds hopeless, I admit, it’s likely true
But we’re still livin’, so we can’t go feeling blue
For those who died, we gotta pay their dues
For those who live, we gotta keep singing the livin’ blues
For those who died, we gotta pay their dues
For those who live, we gotta keep singing the livin’ blues
We gotta keep singing the livin’ blues
