[Verse 1]
Isolated junk yard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a stale room, death awaits
Persecute your own self pride
[Verse 2]
Suffocate the new high
Ride a thorny mule that cries
Dig your grave and step right in
Like a Judas, pay the price
Thirty pieces for a ride
Here's the fire, take a chew
[Chorus]
Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time
Ah, do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Ah, get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time
[Verse 3]
Shredded 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
[Verse 4]
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna pity you
Hurdle over time to death
With open arms, it waits, I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground?
[Chorus]
Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time
Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Ah, get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much
Hey, there ain't much time
There ain't much time
[Interlude 1]
Hey, don't you feel yourself goin' down?
You're goin' down
Hey, don't you feel yourself goin' down?
You're goin' down
Hey, don't you feel your brains, baby?
You're goin' down
[Chorus]
Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind, dummy
Ah, get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time
Ah, do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Ah, get yourself funky together
Hey, there ain't
There ain't much time
[Interlude 2]
One, two
Three, four
Five, six, seven
Eight, nine, ten
Uh, what's that letter
Comes after ten?
Ah, don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Don't you know I don't believe
I'll ever go to hell?
[Outro]
Do yourself a favor
Do yourself a favor
Yeah, yeah, educate your mind
Do yourself a favor
Do yourself a favor, do yourself a favor
Educate your mind, dummy
