Robert Wyatt - Be Serious Lyrics

I really envy Christians
I envy Muslims too
It must be great to be sure
As a top Hindu or Jew

He said, �Pray to God for mercy�
He said, �Get down on your knees�
He said, �Ask Him for forgiveness�
He said, â?½When you do, say please

And I got no one to turn to
When I'm sinkin' in the shit
Feel so sad and lonely
No one to tell me what to do

He said, â?½Well I shouldn't grumble
We'll have our ups and downs
If you just ask Him nicely
He'll Iron out your frowns�

And I d-d-don't believe in willpower
Self-expression's such a fraud
I mean how can I express myself
When there's no self to express?
Be serious

Then put a lid on it
(Do us a favor)
(Do us a favor)

I said
I really envy Christians
And I envy Muslims too
Must be great to be sure
A top Hindu or Jew

(Do us a favor)
(Do us a favor)

When I got no one to turn to
When I'm sinkin' in the shit
Feel so sad and lonely
No one to tell me what to do
Be serious
(Do us a favor)

(Do us a favor)
(Do us a favor)

And I don't believe in willpower
Self-expression's such a fraud
I mean how can I express myself
When there's no self to express?

Be serious
(Do us a favor)
Be serious
(Do us a favor)

Be serious
(Do us a favor)
Be serious
(Do us a favor)

Be serious
(Do us a favor)
Be serious
(Do us a favor)

Be serious
(Do us a favor)
(Do us a favor)
(Do us a favor)
(Do us a favor)
