Without Music the World Dies Morrissey

You don’t need to lead a formatted life
And you don’t need to find yet another wife
Head-trips may very well spill your mind
Oh, but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don’t need to respect your government
They can’t even govern themselves
And you don't need swanky first-cabin hide
Ah, but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don’t need twenty-four-hour news
And you don’t need to send your children to school
And you don’t need to be a billionaire
They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere, they’re everywhere
Oh, but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don’t need awards, awards, awards
Shiny, oh yes, but never earned, always bought
On your deathbed you will scream out this final reply
Oh, without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies
