Be Serious
I really envy Christians
I envy Muslims too
It must be great to be sure
As a top Hindu or Jew
He said, â?½Pray to God for mercyâ?
He said, â?½Get down on your kneesâ?
He said, â?½Ask Him for forgivenessâ?
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 frownsâ?
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)
