Harrison
later said that he couldn't remember exactly what the song
Think For Yourself was about, but he assumed it was about
the British government.
"It
must be about somebody by the sound of it," he wrote
in his autobiography I Me Mine. "But all this time
later, I don't quite recall who inspired that tune. Probably
the government."
Paul McCartney
created an unique sound by plugging in one of his bass guitars
into a fuzz box.
The working
title for Think For Yourself was Won't Be There With You.
It was recorded in only one take.
Think For Yourself
(George Harrison)
I’ve
got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You’re telling all those lies
About the good things we can have
If we close our eyes
Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cos I won’t be there with you
I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you had in mind
And though you still can’t see
I know your mind’s made up
You’re gonna cause more misery
Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cos I won’t be there with you
Although your mind’s opaque
Try thinking more
If just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you’ve got time to rectify
All the things that you should
Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cos I won’t be there with you
Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cos I won’t be there with you
Think for yourself
‘Cos I won’t be there with you
