Baba

How much longer till you completely absolve me?
How soon will I be holy?
I've seen them boasting robes and foreign sandalwood beads
How much longer till you completely absolve me?
I've seen them give their drugs up in place of makeshift altars

How soon will I be holy?

I've seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation
Give me strength all knowing one
How long 'til enlightenment?
How much will this cost, guru?
I've seen men overlooking God in their own essence
I've seen their righteousness mixed without loving compassion
How long have we been sleeping?
How long will this take, baba?

I've heard them chanting, Kali Kali frantically
I've watched you smile as the students bow to kiss your feet

How long have we been sleeping?
How long have we been sleeping?

Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?
Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?
How much longer 'til you completely absolve me?
How much will this cost, guru?

I've seen them coming to line up from Switzerland and America
I've heard them rotely repeat your teachings with elitism
How soon will I be holy?
How much will this cost, guru?
How long will this take, baba?
How long will this take, baba?

How much longer till you completely absolve me?
Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?
I've watched them leave their families in pursuit of your nirvana
