[Verse 1]
Listen young people, I'm 74
And I plan to live 60 or 70 more
Yeah, I've been all around, I've done a few things
And I spent a few nights on the floor, oh!

[Verse 2]
Did everything wrong, but I never got caught
So of course I would do it all over again
I surprised many people who'd written me off years ago
Now they're way underground

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody asked me, but here's my advice
To a young man or woman who's living this life
In a world gone to Hell, where nobody's safe

[Chorus]
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Learned a few tricks and I'll learn a few more
And I got enough bullets to fight a small war
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody asked me, so here's my advice
To a young man or woman who's living this life
In a world gone to Hell where nobody's safe

[Chorus]
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave
