You've got to do it all yourself In the end there ain't no-one else To give you strength enough to start Be sure in mind, be pure in heart 'Cause you've got to do it all yourself You've got to make that call Stand up straight and tall You've got to fight that fall That long low slide Like a strong ebb tide It can wash you out to sea Don't let it get me You've got to do it all yourself Don't rely on no-one else To get those things that you say done If you've got a woman Try to live two for one But you've got to do it all yourself You've got to make that call Stand up straight and tall You've got to fight that fall That long low slide Like a strong ebb tide It can wash you out to sea But don't let it get me It can wash you out to sea But don't let it get me It can wash you out to sea Don't let it get me It can wash you out to sea Adrift in the water Away from the shoreline Away from your lifeline Alone on a freeway Alone on a subway Alone in the airways You've got to do it all alone
