Lyrics

"I want to tell you something;
Listen to me
I'm trying to say, 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 and child
Everybody help me"

I hear, only what I want to hear
But, I have to believe in something
Have to believe in 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 need your rule

Well ,hey there;
You tell me you're a holy man, but, although I am just a
Beginner
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

I'd rather never leave her
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-oo do+
What oh-oh-ohoh

"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
