Текст песни Do Yourself A Favor - Stevie Wonder

Isolated junkyard
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
Thirty pieces for a ride
Here's the fire, take a chew

Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time

Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time

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 drown

Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gon' pity you
Hurdle over time to death
With open arms it waits, I bet
Don't you wish you could reach ground?

Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time

Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time
Hey, there ain't much time
There ain't much time

Hey, don't you feel yourself going down?
You're going down
Hey, don't you feel yourself going down?
You're going down
Hey, don't you feel yourself going down?
You're going down

Ah, do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Ah, get yourself together
Hey, there ain't much time

Ah, do yourself a favor
Educate your mind
Ah, get your funky self together
Hey, there ain't much time, ow

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, uh, what's that number that 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 know

Do yourself a favor
Do yourself a favor
Educate your mind, yeah

Do yourself a favor
Do yourself a favor (do yourself a favor)
Educate your mind, dummy
