Baba
I've seen them kneelWith baited 1 breath for their ritualI've watched this experienceRaise them to pseudo higher levelsI've watched them leave their familiesIn pursuit of your Nirvana 2I've seen them coming to line upFrom Switzerland and America
How long will this take, Baba? 3How long have we been sleeping?Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?How soon will I be holy?How much will this cost, Guru?How much longer 'till you completely absolve me?
I've seen them give their drugs upIn place of makeshift altarsI've heard them chanting'Kali, kali' frantically 4I've heard them rotely repeat 5Your teachings with elitismI've seen them boasting robesAnd foreign sandalwood beads
How long will this take, Baba? 3How long have we been sleeping?Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?How soon will I be holy?How much will this cost, Guru?How much longer 'till you completely absolve me?
Ave Maria
I've seen them overlooking GodIn their own essenceI've seen their upward glancesIn hopes of instant salvationI've seen their righteousnessMixed without loving compassionI've watched you smileAs the students bow to kiss your feet
How long will this take, Baba? 3How long have we been sleeping?Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?How soon will I be holy?How much will this cost, Guru?How much longer 'till you completely absolve me?
Give me strength, all-knowing oneHow long 'til enlightenment?How much longer 'till you completely absolve me?
Ave Maria, Ave MariaAve Maria, Ave Maria
