Lyrics
———
And you open the door and you step inside
We're inside our hearts
Now imagine your pain as a white ball of healing light
That's right, your pain
The pain itself is a white ball of healing light
— I Don't Think So!

You have to give up 
You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to give up

I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can

This is your life This is your life
This is your life This is your life
Doesn't get any better than this.
This is your life This is your life
This is your life This is your life
And it's ending one-minute at a time.

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.
This isn't a seminar, this isn't a weekend retreat.
Where you are now you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like.

Only after disaster can we be resurrected
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything
Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.

You have to give up 
You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to give up

I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can

This is your life This is your life
This is your life This is your life
Doesn't get any better than this.
This is your life This is your life
This is your life This is your life
And it's ending one-minute at a time.

This is your life, good to the last drop.
Doesn't get any better than this.

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all singing, all dancing, crap of the world

You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your grande latte
You are not the car you drive
You are not your fucking khaki's
You have to give up, 
You have to give up, 
You have to realize that someday you will Die
Until you know that, You Are Useless

You have to give up 
You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to give up

I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can

This is your life This is your life
This is your life This is your life
Doesn't get any better than this.
This is your life This is your life
This is your life This is your life
And it's ending one-minute at a time.

I say let me never be complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from Swedish furniture
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say you have to give up
I say evolve, and let the chips fall where they may

If this is your first night, you have to fight

Fight Club – “This Is Your Life” (Hamlet Sharp Cover)
An Alternate Branch from Tyler’s Underground World

This is our tribute to Fight Club (1999), directed by David Fincher, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, and to its unforgettable soundtrack by The Dust Brothers (John King & Michael Simpson), featuring Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden.

In the film, Tyler set up a branch in every city—each with a lieutenant repeating his words nightly. This version is what might echo from one of those branches in an alternate reality: our own cover of “This Is Your Life.”

We’ve been fans of the film, its creators, and this song since we first saw it in 1999. Covering this piece is both a personal homage and a creative thrill.
