Answer to Yourself - The Soft Pack (lyrics)

*These lyrics were transcribed and hold no guarantee of accuracy.

You got to answer to yourself
You can't depend on anyone else
You got to know where you stand
Know what's in your head
Yeah you got to answer to yourself

You got to write down what you know
You got to make sure that it's known
Because they're coming along
To see what you've done
And they're going to claim it for their own

You got a rabbit in your hat
You've got a few tricks up your sleeve
Don't get stuck in a rut or stuck in the sand
You've got exactly what you need
You've got a talent don't you know
You're more talented than you know
And you give it a shot
You give it the time
You'd be surprised how far it goes

But I think I'm going to die
Before I see my time
Think I'm going to die
Trying anyway

You've got to answer to yourself
Two days a week outside yourself
You take an hour a day an hour a day
And you don't respond to anyone else
You got a few things on your shelf
You got to look through for yourself
You got to choose what to read
Choose what to believe
And you don't take it from anyone else

But I think I'm going to die
Before I see my time
Think I'm going to die
Trying anyway

Yeah, I think I'm going to die
Before I see my time
Yeah I, think I'm going to die
Before I see my time
Think I'm gonna die
Trying anyway
