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 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 ‘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 thighs 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.
