Think for Yourself - The Beatles

Album: Rubber Soul

genre: Rock

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
Cos I won’t be there with you

I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you have 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
Cos 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
Cos I won’t be there with you

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
Cos I won’t be there with you
Think for yourself
Cos I won’t be there with you

George Harrison wrote in his autobiography "I, Me, Mine" that "Think for Yourself": "must be about 'somebody' from the sound of it – but all this time later, I don't quite recall who inspired that tune! Probably the Government."
