Do Yourself a Favor

Stevie Wonder

song-cover

Do Yourself a Favor

Isolated junk yard

Letting out the garbage

Eating through the core of life

Sweet fragrance irritates

In a state room death awaits

Persecute your own self-pride

Suffocate the new high

Ride the thorny mule that cries

";Dig your grave and step right in";

Like a judas pay the price

30 pieces for a ride

Here's the fire take a chew

Do yourself a favour

Educate your mind

Get yourself together

Hey there ain't much time

Do yourself a favour

Educate your mind

Get yourself together

Hey there ain't much timeShredded know-how give away

Species of the human race

Those funky winds of ups and downs

Hall of grit is known too well

Heaven still is your hell

Poison slowly slowly drowns

Let the devil step right in

Lucifer's your only friend

Ain't a soul go'n pity you

Hurdly over time to death

With open arms it waits I bet

Don't you wish you could reach ground?

Do yourself a favour

Educate your mind

Get yourself together

Hey there ain't much time

Do yourself a favour

Educate your mind

Get yourself together

Hey there ain't much time
