Be Serious

I really envy Christians I envy Muslims too It must be great to be so sure As I'm talking to a Jew; He said pray to god for mercy He said get down on your knees He said ask him for forgiveness He said when you do say please (do us a favour) And I've got no one to turn to When I'm sinking in the ship I feel so sad and lonely No one to tell me what to do He said well I shouldn't grumble We all have our ups and down If you just ask him nicely He'll iron out your frown (I said do us a favour) And if I don't believe in will power (keep ya hair on) Self expressions such a fraud I mean how can I express myself When there's no self to express Be serious Then he put a lid on it Do us a favour Do us a favour I really envy Christians (do us a favour) I envy Muslims too (do us a favour) It must be great to be so sure (do us a favour) Probably do want you (do us a favour) Do us a favour Do us a favour When I've got no one to turn to (do us a favour) When I'm sinking in the ship (do us a favour) Feel so sad and lonely (do us a favour) No one to tell me what to do (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) Do us a favour Do us a favour And I don't believe in willpower (do us a favour) Self expressions such a fraud (do us a favour) How can I express myself (do us a favour) When there's no self to express (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) Beeee serious (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) Be serious (do us a favour) ...The dust... a building... the universe... Do us a favour Do us a favour Leave it out --- Be Serious - Robert Wyatt
