 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

A friend of mine just had a real bad time. 
You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind. 
His girl ran off along with his best friend, 
And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end. 
It was such a tragedy, 
But that's the way it's got to be. 
Life goes on. 

Life goes on. 
It happens every day. 
So appreciate what you got 
Before it's taken away. 
Life will hit you 
When you're unprepared, 
So be grateful and take all 
That you can while you're there. 
Get that frown off your head, 
'Cause you're a long time dead. 
Life goes on and on and on. 
Life goes on and on and on. 

No use runnin' 'round lookin' scared, 
Life could get you when you're unaware. 
One day it's gonna come, so you better accept it. 
Life will hit you when you least expect it. 
And one day when you are gone, 
You know that life will still go on. 
But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong. 
Life will still go on. 

My bank went broke and my well ran dry. 
It was almost enough to contemplate suicide. 
I turned on the gas, but I soon realized 
I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply. 
No matter how I try, it seems I'm too young to die. 
Life goes on and on and on. 
Life goes on and on and on. 

Tornado, cyclone and hurricane 
Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain. 
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore, 
But the people recover and come back for more. 
Somehow the people fight back, even the future looks black. 
Life goes on and on and on. 
Life goes on and on and on.

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run. Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.
