Think For Yourself

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 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.

"Think for Yourself" is a song by English rock band the Beatles which first appeared on their 1965 album Rubber Soul. Written and sung by George Harrison, it is a warning against listening to lies, and the first of Harrison's songs not to be a love song. In his book I, Me, Mine he writes, "But all this time later, I don't quite recall who inspired that tune. Probably the government." In a departure from all precedent at the time, the song has two bass lines, a normal one and one created by Paul McCartney's then-unique application of a fuzzbox to his bass.
