Be Yourself Lyrics by Robin Pecknold

Be Yourself: A Tribute to Graham Nash’s “Songs for Beginners”

0

How does it feel
When life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Your life seems uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home
(chorus)
Don't theorize
Look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you may disguise what you see
The mirror is free
We once had a savior
But by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Song birds are talking
And runners are walking
A prodigal son's coming home
(chorus)
Don't theorize
Look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you a key
Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?)
Be yourself (why don't you be...?)
We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority
(chorus)
So don't theorize
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that you see on T.V
What a way to be free
Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?)
Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?)
Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?)
Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?)
