[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
My friend drove off the other day, now he's gone and all they say
Is "You got to live 'cause life goes on..."
But now I see I'm mortal, too, I can't live my life like you
Got to live it up while life goes on

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt]
And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
It's how I give, and I'm still givin'...

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
And now I wonder 'bout my friend, if he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head, then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my hеart

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to livе
It's how I give, and I'm still givin'...

[Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong, with Mike Dirnt]
You know that I know that
You're watchin' me!
[Guitar Solo: Billie Joe Armstrong]

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
It's how I give, and I'm still givin'...

[Outro: Mike Dirnt & Billie Joe Armstrong]
Got to make a plan, got to do what's right
Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life
But I don't want to make a plan for a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able, all I want to do is...
