π Lyrics
Now, there are all sorts of ways in which
Religious people try to explain that it can be done
I referred already to the grace of God
You say no, you can't do the job yourself
Because the improving you is the one that needs to be improved
Therefore, you have to say, "God help me."
Now, of course, that God exists is your opinion
That God will answer your prayer is your opinion,
And your idea of God is your idea of God
If you bought somebody else's script, you bought it
I can be the singer or thΠ΅ clown
In every room
I can be thΠ΅ singer or the clown
In every room
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
Maybe your mother and father talked to you
About God in a very impressive way
But basically, you bought their idea
And if you're a father yourself,
I'm a grandfather now, I've got five grandchildren
And I know I'm as stupid as my
Own grandfather must have been
You know, I am one, I sit there in the position which they look at
They go, "Oh, wow-wee, there's an important man."
I know that I'm just like anyone else
So I hope my children are not believing things on my authority
Because it's always their authority
If I look impressive and make big noises at them
They've just been taken in
I can be the singer or the clown
Sounds like an easy religion
In every room
Let's not be so sure
No wonder we're suffering
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
I've chosen you
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
Religious people try to explain that it can be done
I referred already to the grace of God
You say no, you can't do the job yourself
Because the improving you is the one that needs to be improved
Therefore, you have to say, "God help me."
Now, of course, that God exists is your opinion
That God will answer your prayer is your opinion,
And your idea of God is your idea of God
If you bought somebody else's script, you bought it
I can be the singer or thΠ΅ clown
In every room
I can be thΠ΅ singer or the clown
In every room
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
Maybe your mother and father talked to you
About God in a very impressive way
But basically, you bought their idea
And if you're a father yourself,
I'm a grandfather now, I've got five grandchildren
And I know I'm as stupid as my
Own grandfather must have been
You know, I am one, I sit there in the position which they look at
They go, "Oh, wow-wee, there's an important man."
I know that I'm just like anyone else
So I hope my children are not believing things on my authority

Let's not be so sure
No wonder we're suffering
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
I've chosen you
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
I can be the singer or the clown
In every room
