Living it up. It's a big kick It's good for you Watch the big freeze slip Crack the jackpot, get out of control If you put yourself down You'll never win, get out of that hole Keep your mind open, your head up You'll never, ever get old Go! Your whole world could change If only you just broke through 'Cause your fears are doing Nothing for you Keep your head up, your mind open You'll always come through 'Cause living it up, it's a big deal It's good for you Swap your dull grey thoughts For fierce demands you can stand up to Don't put yourself down, you'll never win So let's all smash through Through the fear of being real Through the fear of being really you 'Cause living it up, it's a big deal It's good for you
