I've seen them kneel

with baited breath for the ritual

I've watched this experience raise

them pseudo to higher levels

I've watched them leave their families

in pursuit of your nirvana

I've seen them coming to line up

from Switzerland and America

Chorus:

How long will this take Baba

How long have we been sleeping

Do you see me hanging on to

Every word you say

How long will I be holy

How much will this cost guru

How much longer 'til you

Completely absolve me

I've seen them give their drugs up

in place of makeshift altars

I've heard them chanting

Kali Kali frantically

I've heard them rottenly repeat your

teachings with elitism

I've seen them boasting robes and

foreign sandalwood beads

Chorus

I've seen them overlooking god in

their own essence

I've seen their upward glances

in hopes of instant salvation

I've seen their righteousness

mixed without loving compassion

I've watched you smile as

the students bow to kiss your feet

Give me strength all knowing one

How long 'til enlightenment

How much longer 'til you

Completely absolve me
