Listen young people I'm 74

And I plan to live 60 or 70 more

Yeah I've been all around I've done a few things

And I spent a few nights on the floor, oh!



Did everything wrong but I never got caught

So of course I would do it all over again

I surprised many people who'd written me off

Years ago now they're way underground



Nobody asked me but here's my advice

To a young man or woman who's living this life

In a world gone to hell where nobody's safe

Do not go quietly unto your grave

Do not go quietly unto your grave



Learned a few tricks and I'll learn a few more

And I got enough bullets to fight a small war

Nobody asked me so here's my advice

To a young man or woman who's living this life

In a world gone to hell where nobody's safe



Do not go quietly unto your grave

Do not go quietly unto your grave

Do not go quietly unto your grave

Do not go quietly unto your grave
