Serve Yourself (Home Recording)

[Intro]

Well

I've got a story to tell

[Verse 1]

You say you found Jesus

He's the only one

You say you've found Buddha

Sittin' in the sun

You say you found Mohammed

Bowin' to the East

You say you found Krishna

Dancin' in the street

Well, it's too much cockamamie, too much cock-a-doodle-doo

You know there's somethin' missin' in this godalmighty stew

And it's your mother

Don't forget your mother, boy

[Chorus]

You got to serve yourself

Ain't nobody gonna do for you

You got to serve yourself

Ain't nobody gonna do for you

Well, you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws

But you know you're gonna have to serve yourself, honey

Ain't no room service here

[Verse 2]

You say you came from monkeys

Or something weird like that

You say the Garden of Eden

Is really where it's at

You say we came from spaceships

Made of matter and gas

You say we came from nowhere

And this, too, will pass

Well, wherever we all came from, we sure as hell are here

And who the hell you cry for when the bogeyman is near?

And it's your mother

Too much monkey business 'round here, honey

Don't forget your mama

[Chorus 3]

Got to serve yourself

Ain't nobody gonna do for you

You got to serve yourself

Ain't nobody gonna do for you

Well, you may believe in Mickey Mouse or even Donald Duck

But who the hell you turn to when you really need a—

That's right, honey, it's your mother

You can't do it by yourself

You'll go blind doin' that

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]

Serve yourself

Ain't nobody gonna do for you

You got to serve yourself

Ain't nobody gonna do for you

Well, you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws

But you know you're gonna have to serve yourself, honey

Ain't no room service here

[Verse 3]

You know that two is company

And three is a family

You need the tree of knowledge

Or Holy Trinity

You can't have one without the other

Sure as night follows day

That's the law of nature

Can't be had any other way

Well, you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws

But God, you're gonna have to serve yourself, honey

It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature

[Outro]

Too loud
