Answer To Yourself - The Soft Pack

You gotta answer to yourself

You can’t depend on anyone else

You gotta know where you stand

And what’s in your hands

Yeah, you gotta answer to yourself

You gotta write down what you know

You gotta make sure that it’s known

Because they’re coming along to see what you’ve done

And they’re gonna claim it for their own

You got a rabbit in your hat

You got a few tricks up your sleeve

Don’t get stuck in a rut

Or stuck in the same

Yeah, you got exactly what you need

You got a talent, don’t you know?

You’re more talented than you know

And you give it a shot

And give it the time

And be surprised how far it goes

But I think I’m gonna die

Before I see my time

Think I’m gonna die

Trying anyway

You gotta 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 gotta choose what to read

Choose what to believe

And you don’t take it from anyone else

But I think I’m gonna die

Before I see my time

Think I’m gonna die

Trying anyway

Yeah I think I’m gonna die

Before I see my time

Yeah I think I’m gonna die

Before I see my time

Think I’m gonna die

Trying anyway
