- Songwriters: Stevie Wonder, Syreeta Wright
Isolated junkyard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a stale room death awaits
Persecute your own self pride
Suffocate the new high
Ride a thorny mule that cries
Dig your grave and jump right in
Like a Judas pay the price
Thirty pieces for a ride
Here's the fire now take a chew
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
There ain't no time, yeah
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh, there ain't no time
Shredded know-how gives 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 drowns
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna 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 favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey, there ain't no time, yeah
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Oh, there ain't no time
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer's your only friend
Ain't a soul gonna 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 favour
Oh educate your mind
Oh get yourself together
Oh, there ain't no time, yeah
Do yourself a favour
Oh educate your mind, yeah yeah
Get yourself together
Oh, there ain't no time, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Do yourself a favour
Get yourself together
