Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying

This image of the lyrics from the Fall Out Boy song "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying" give me the chills. F.O.B. got a bad reputation for being overplayed and poppy, but songwriter Wentz was a skilled businessman and workaholic and he had a lot to say about making the most of life. He made some brilliant points, then Patrick Stump somehow took all the negativity and made it ridiculously catchy.

I don’t really like the message of this song, but it’s SO CATCHY! (As you said in your original post as well…, but I just can’t help mentioning this. XD)
