You say you've found Jesus
And he's the only one
You say you've found Buddha
Sittin' in the sun
You say you've found Mohammed
Facin' to the East
You say you've found Krishna
Dancin' in the street

Well, there's something missing in this God Almighty stew
Something happenin' and you don't know what to do
Well, it's your mother (that's right)
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you

You say we came from monkeys
Or something weird like that
You say the Garden of Eden
Is really where it's at
You say we came in spaceships
Running outta gas
You say we came from nowhere
But this too will pass

Well, wherever we all came from, we sure as hell are here
And who the hell you cry to when the bogeyman is near
And it's your mother, that's right, it's your mother
You may believe in Mickey Mouse or even Donald Duck
But who the hell you turn to when you really need a - ooo-wooo
That's right, it's your mother
You can't do it by yourself, you go blind doing that
It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature

You gotta serve yourself
