Be Serious

I really envy Christians

I envy Muslims too

It must be great to be so 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

When you do say please

And I got no one to turn to

When I'm sinking in the s**t

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

And if I don't believe in will power

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

I envy Muslims too

It must be great to be so sure

Probably do want you

Do us a favour

Do us a favour

When I've got no one to turn to

When I'm sinking in the ship

Feel so sad and lonely

No one to tell me what to do

Be serious

Do us a favour

And I don't believe in willpower

Self expressions such a fraud

How can I express myself

When there's no self to express

Be serious

Be serious

Be serious

Be serious

Be serious

Be serious

Be serious

Do us a favour

Do us a favour

Do us a favour

Leave it out
