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, ‽When 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, ‽Well 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'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)
Leave it out
I really envy Christians
I envy Muslims too
It must be great to be sure
