Lyrics

DO IT FOR YOURSELF

In a world of selfish interest
In a job, a cut throat business
In a nation of self-serving politics
It?s so hard to keep your dreams fixed, but you try how you try


You try to lay the blame on me
And I would take it usually
The guilt?s gone, baby, that?s a fact
Look here, I?m giving it back because


YOU GOT TO DO IT, DO IT FOR YOURSELF
YOU GOT TO DO IT, I CAN ONLY HELP
YOU GOT TO DO IT, OH, YOU GOT TO DO IT FOR YOURSELF

It?s easier to cast the blame off
It?s easier to say it?s not my fault
It?s easier to think you?ve always got the answer

You walk away, but Honey, your bags are full
Said your bags are full

I?m willing to share
I?m willing to care
But if you?re not where you wanna be
Don?t go laying the blame on me because


CHORUS

Do it , do it, yeah, do it, do it
Do it, do it , yeah, do it, do it
Why don?t you just get up off your *** and try to do it for yourself


CHORUS
