When you were young and your heart was an open book, You used to say live and let live, (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give it a cry, Say live and let die! Live and let die, Live and let die, Live and let die. What does it matter to ya, When you've got a job to do you gotta do it well, You gotta give the other fellow hell! You used to say live and let live, (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give it a cry, Say live and let die! Live and let die, Live and let die, Live and let die

Paul McCartney was asked to write this tune for the James Bond film "Live and Let Die." Although it was written just to fit the mood of the film, and the required title, it really offers us much more than that. It is a direct reflection of the way that our society doesn't give a shit about anyone, as long as it doesn't interfere with them personally. As long as you don't affect me, I don't care what happens to you. This is no way to build our world, and Paul was trying to bring out attention to it.
