Think for Yourself
Hmmm, yeah-yeah, yeah
Well, well
Well, well
We're expecting miracles from the Whitehouse
Tell me how much can one man do
He's just trying to pull the world together
To make it better it's up to me and you
Your first man-made (your first man-made)
Is self-revelation from God (is self-revelation from God)
Don't be led astray (don't be led astray)
You're leaning on somebody's job (you're leaning on somebody's job, ayy-ayy)
Think for yourself (think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (ain't got to do)
To do your job for you (don't you know that)
Oh your job for you
I wish you would (think for yourself) well, well
Stop depending on someone else (ooh, to do your)
Job for you (don't you let them)
Do your job for you
Well
Think (you got to)
Think (aww)
Keeping up with the pace of the space age
Inventors drawing blueprints every day
Automation means conductive labor
Be prepared for whatever comes your way
Educate your mind (educate your mind)
'Cause you've still got time to pursue (because you've still got time to pursue)
Any dream in mind (any dream in mind)
It's your life, it's all up to you (it's your life, it's all up to you)
Think for yourself (think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (well, well)
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (do your job)
Think for yourself (well, well)
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (do your job yourself now)
Think (stay in school)
Think (don't be a fool)
Educate your mind (educate your mind)
Because you've still got time to pursue (you've still got time to pursue)
Any dream in mind (any dream in mind)
It's your life, it's all up to you (it's your life, it's all up to you, yeah)
Think for yourself (think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (don't you let it)
To do your job for you (do it yourself)
Oh your job for you (come on, come on)
Think for yourself (you've got to think)
Stop depending on someone else (well, well, well, well)
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (do your job, do your job)
Think (stay in school)
Think (that's what I call being cool)
Think (get out that line)
Think (stop wasting time)
Aww, yeah
Haha mmm
Think for yourself
Stop depending on someone else (stop depending on someone else)
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (don't you let them)
Think for yourself (well, well)
Stop depending on someone else (well, well)
To do your job for you (do you job)
Oh your job for you (do your job)
Think
Think, yeah
We've got to use our minds, yeah
I'm so tired of hearing the plea
That I can't do this and that ain't me
I don't want to hear
That's what I could've done
That's what I should've done
That's what I would've done
Think (well, well)
Think (come on)
Stop and use your head (woah, woah, woah)
Think (we've got to work)
Think (got to use our minds)
Stop and use your head (gotta get on stop wasting time)
Think for yourself (come on)
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (do your job)
Think for yourself (come on now)
Stop depending on someone else (well, well)
To do your job for you (do your job)
Oh your job for you (do your job, do your job)
Think for yourself (come on people)
Stop depending on someone else (we've got to work)
To do your job for you (do our job)
Oh your job for you (stop depending on somebody else)
