Serious Man

This life ain't no jokin business
This life ain't no jokin business

'Cause I'm I'm a serious man

Me I'm a serious man
Seem like the trouble it go for them

No don't be gossip with no heathens
Me I'm a serious man that's what I am
Cause life ain't no jokin business

And I won't laugh and take life for a joke noo-ho-ho
Then watch poor people life go up in smoke

We need to have praise in god
For our life is joy

No value in dollars and the faith in economy
And I don't laugh and take this thing for fun I said no
We need to have praise in god
For our life is joy

'Cause I'm I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with them heathens
Me I'm a serious man
Seem like the trouble it go for them
Me I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with no heathens
