The Question Songtext
von Procol Harum

Before you go pointing the finger
Maybe you should check yourself out
Your past is wide open to question
Your future is clouded in doubt

Before you go pointing the finger
Maybe you should stand back and think
Are you gonna be making a difference
Or are you gonna be making a stink

Be-before you go pointing the finger
Maybe you should stand back and ask
Are you really up to the challenge?
Do you feel you′re facing the task?

Before you go pointing the finger
Maybe you should know what it means
Have you always been Mr. Blameless
Have you always kept your hands clean


Before you go pointing the finger
Maybe you should see if it's wise
Would you pass a vigorous inspection
Or be cut down to size

Before you go pointing the finger
Maybe you should stand back and think
Are you gonna be making a difference
Or are you gonna be making a stink (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Before you, before you go pointing the finger, babe
Just check yourself out, check yourself out
Before you go, before you go pointing the finger
Just see how you believe in yourself
She′s wise, no, she's prides
Before you go pointing the finger, hmm

Before you go pointing the finger
Before you go pointing the finger
Before you go pointing the finger
Just check yourself out
Before you go pointing the finger
Before you go pointing the finger
Before you go pointing the finger
