Dying Young Contest

He was a legend with a great lifetime ahead.       
Was a hell raiser who would never die  in his bed.      
To live fast die young was his motto instead.          
Actor extraordinaire was rebellious in his head.      

Was a hell raiser who would never die in his bed.    
He was a rebel without a cause a group he led           
Actor extraordinaire was rebellious in his head         
Speed was something from which he never fled 

He was a rebel without a cause a group he led
To live fast, die young was his motto  instead
Speed was something from which he never fled
He was a legend with a great lifetime ahead
