Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Sad Clown (WATTSWAVE II: How to Be a Better Person) 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 thе clown
In every room
I can be thе 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
I've chosen you 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
