Be Serious Robert Wyatt

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 (do us a favour)"

And I got no one to turn to
When I'm sinking in the shit
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
