Live By The Sword Lyrics in English The Rolling Stones
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Live By The Sword by The Rolling Stones from German to English.
If you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you're gonna die by the gun
If you live by the gun, you're gonna die by the gun
If you live for the knife, well, you're gonna get stabbed
If you live for the knife, well, you're gonna get stabbed
Run into the law, well, you're gonna get nabbed
Run into the law, well, you're gonna get nabbed
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you good

If you wanna get rich, better sit on the board
If you want to get rich, better sit on the board
If you wanna be poor, better pay the landlord
If you want to be poor, better pay the landlord
If you're deep in the crime, well, you're deep in the slime
If you're deep in the crime, well, you're deep in the slime
If you're livin' a lie, look me straight in the eye
If you're livin' a lie, look me straight in the eye
If you're locked in the jail, well, you better get free
If you're locked in the jail, well, you better get free
If you're lookin' for love, don't go running to me
If you're lookin' for love, don't go running to me
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you good
I'm gonna treat you good
It's too late to say you're sorry, sorry, sorry
It's too late to say you're sorry, sorry, sorry
And soon it will be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
And soon it will be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
If you live like a whore, better be hardcore
If you live like a whore, better be hardcore
If you live by the clock, well, you're in for a shock
If you live by the clock, well, you're in for a shock
If you're living for food, better lick up your plate
If you're living for food, better lick up your plate
If you wanna be in fashion, well, you'll be out of date
If you want to be in fashion, well, you'll be out of date
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you right
