Think for Yourself

from To Find a Little Bluebird by Riot/Clone

/

lyrics

So many opinions from far and wide
The whole world wants to be your guide
They’ll be your friend if you’ll be on their side
They’ll promise you such splendour
Take a step back and use your brain
Are their words honest and plain
What do they stand to lose or gain
What’s their hidden agenda?

Don’t let him or her or me
Or anybody ever
Tell you what to think
Or what to do
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
No one else has got the same
Experiences you do
Draw on them to make conclusions
Relevant to you

Forget the conditioning learnt at school
It’s right to question each and all
To follow blindly is to fall
Make sure their view’s dissected
There’ll be surprise from some you spurn
And those in uniform will never learn
Respect is something that you earn
Not a thing to be expected

Don’t let him or her or me
Or anybody ever
Tell you what to think
Or what to do
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
No one else has got the same
Experiences you do
Draw on them to make conclusions
Relevant to you

Make sure you take advantage now
Of the info explosion going round
If you look for the truth it can be found
That’s why the system’s frightened
For ignorance there’s no excuse
The information’s so profuse
Don’t let your brain die of misuse
Broaden your horizons

Don’t let him or her or me
Or anybody ever
Tell you what to think
Or what to do
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
Think for yourself
