Crisis? What Crisis? (1975)

A Soapbox Opera

 

 




[Intro]

"I want to tell you one thing;
Listen to me,
I'm trying to tell you that I'm better than you,
I am only what I am"

"We must not stand still,
For the night is coming,
Every man, every woman, every child,
Every boy and every girl"


I hear only what I want to hear
But, I have to believe in something
Have to believe just one thing

I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool,
There's something missing when I read your rules

Well, hey there,
You tell me you're a holy man
But, although I'm just a beginner
Oh, I don't see you as a winner

I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
If I could tell you what you need to know,
If I could help you to get on with the show

Oh Reverend Ebenezer,
There's a storm in my head,
Makes me hear what you say;
Just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
Well, what has he to do?
Oh, what is there to do?
Whoa, oh-oh-oh

[Child singing]
"All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all"


Mary, oh, tell me what I'm living for,
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river,
Oh have you a son to deliver?

I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
You tell the children what they need to know,
But, will they listen when it's time to go?

Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup,
Can someone tell me what I need to know?
Can someone help me to get on with the show?
