Think For Yourself

By John T. Marck

George Harrison's one of two contributions to Rubber Soul was that of "Think For Yourself," whereby he is telling not to trust the government, but rather think for yourself. It was recorded on November 8, 1965.

I've got a word or two, to say about the things that you do

You're telling all those lies, About the good things that we can have,  if we close our eyes

Do what you want to do, And go where you're going to

Think for yourself, 'cause I won't be there with you

I left you far behind, The ruins of the life that you had in mind

And though you still can't see, I know your mind's made up

You're gonna cause more misery

Do what you want to do, and go where you're going to

Think for yourself, 'cause I won't be there with you

Although your mind's opaque,

Try thinking more if just for your own sake

The future still looks good, and you've got time to rectify

All the things that you should

Do what you want to do, and go where you're going to

Think for yourself, 'cause I won't be there with you

Do what you want to do, and go where you're going to

Think for yourself, 'cause I won't be there with you

Think for yourself, 'cause I won't be there with you
