Live by the sword


If you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you gonna die by the gun
If you live for the knife, well, you’re gonna get stabbed
Run into the law, well, you’re gonna get nabbed
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass

I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good

If you wanna get rich, better sit on the board
If you wanna be poor, better pay the landlord
If you’re deep in the crime, well, you’re deep in the slime
If you’re living a lie, look me straight in the eye
If you’re locked in the jail, well, you better get free
If you’re looking for love, don’t go running to me

I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good

It’s too late to say you’re sorry, sorry, sorry
And soon it will be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

If you live like a whore, better be hardcore
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If you wanna be in fashion, well, you’ll be out of date

I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good
I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good

Oh, if you live by the sword, oh yeah
Get shot up, you better call 911
And then you better hang out until the ambulance comes
If you live by the sword
Gonna die by the sword, oh yeah
If you die by the sword
If you live by the gun
If you live by the gun
If you live by the gun, gonna die by the gun
Oh yeah
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics LIVE BY THE SWORD of ROLLING STONES is also present in the album Hackney diamonds (2023)

Biografia

The Rolling Stones are a legendary British rock band formed in London in 1962. Composed of Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith Richards (guitar), Ronnie Wood (guitar) and Charlie Watts (drums, deceased in 2021), the Rolling Stones have dominated the music scene for over half a century. The classic lineup also included Bill Wyman (bass, retired in 1993) and Brian Jones (multi-instrumentalist, died in 1969). After Jones' death, Mick Taylor took his place until 1974. Considered one of the most influential bands in rock history, the Rolling Stones are known for their blues-infused hard rock sound and lascivious rhythms. Their songs often tackle themes of sex, drugs, social unrest and politics, becoming an icon of rebellion and freedom. Some of their most representative tracks include '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Paint It Black'. Essential albums include 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile on Main St.', which have helped define the evolution of rock over the years.
