Motorhead - One Short Life lyric

Ringtones Ringtone: Send One Short Life Ringtone to your Cell Phone!


My mama told me lots of things

About the life we lead

Told me it was too easy

To live a life of greed

She said you'll be a good man

And I'll be proud of you

'Cause you can't do no better

If that's all you learn to do

All we got is one short life

Far as we can find

And if you don't know how to live

The world will be unkind

No, no curse upon my name

No way I look at a bad guy

And think that I'm the same

No, I won't be blamed

I live without dishonor

I won't have to die ashamed

Old lady told me plenty

She told me what to do

How to act in society

How to make it through

She said always mind your manners

And don't you talk no trash

And if you hear somebody dissing you

Go over and kick his ass

One thing is for certain

By all we know and love

If you compromise your integrity

You should drown in your own blood

No, no curse upon my name

No way I look at a bad guy

And think that I'm the same

No, I won't be blamed

You live without dishonor

You don't have to die ashamed

So, even though I'm old and weird

I remember what she said

I always knew that she was right

So, I kept it in my head

I never tried to hurt the world

I never was drove by greed

Believe I mostly did my best

What more do you want from me?

All there is, is one short life

Far as we can find

And if you don't know how to live

You're gonna lose your mind

No, no dirt upon my name

No way I look at a bad guy

And thing I share blame

No, I'm not the same

As I live and die, I'm certain

I refuse to die ashamed
