my professional opinion

Paul Simon

Good Morning Mr. Indignation
Looks like you haven't slept all night
In my professional opinion
Go back to bed and turn off your light

I'm not a doctor or a preacher
I've no particular guiding star
In my professional opinion
I'm no more satisfied than you are

So what in the world are we whispering for?
Everyone's naked
There's nothing to hide
Gonna carry my grievances
Down to the shore
Wash them away in the tumbling tide

I heard two cows in a conversation
One called the other one a name
In my professional opinion
All cows in the country must
Bear the blame

So all rise to the occasion
Or all sink into despair
In my professional opinion
We're better off not going there

What in the world are we whispering for?
Everyone's naked
There's nothing to hide
Gonna carry my grievances
Down to the shore
And wash 'em away in the tumbling tide

Wash 'em away in the tumbling tide
Wash 'em away in the tide

All that really matters
Is the one who became us
Anointed and gamed us
With His opinions

THE LORD

The Lord is my engineer
The Lord is the earth I ride on
The Lord is the face in the atmosphere
The path I slip and slide on

The Lord is a virgin forest
The Lord is a forest ranger
The Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poor
A welcome door to the stranger

The Covid virus is the Lord
The Lord is the ocean rising
The Lord is a terrible swift sword
A simple truth, surviving
