Well I gave up cocaine and I gave up smack

I gave up drinking alcohol and smoking crack 

I gave up living on the never never

But I can't give up believing that I'm going to live forever



Well I gave up computer games, I gave up meat

I gave up watching TV in my favourite seat 

I gave up wearing fur and I gave up wearing leather 

But I can't give up believing that I'm going to live forever



Give it up, give it up

Don't you know you've got to lose?

The desires you were born with

And your talent to abuse 

Give it up, give it up 

There's a better life to live 

Give it up, give it up 

Give it all you've got to give



Well I gave up sugar and I gave up spice

I gave up everything that feels allright 

'Cos I feel that these addictions are a chain you have to sever 

I'm addicted to believing that I'm going to live forever
