BABA

I've seen them kneelWith baited breath for the ritualI've watched this experience raiseThem to pseudo higher levelsI've watched them leave their familiesIn pursuit of your nirvanaI've seen them coming to line up from Switzerland and AmericaHow long will this take, baba?How long have we been sleeping?Do you see me hanging on to every word you say?How soon 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 upIn place of makeshift altarsI've heard them chantingKali kali franticallyI've heard them rotely repeat yourTeaching with elitismI've seen them boasting robes andForeign sandalwood beadsHow long will this take, baba?How long have we been sleeping?Do you see me hanging on to every word you say?How soon will I be holy?How much will this cost, guru?How much longer 'til you completely absolve me?I've seen them overlooking God inTheir own essenceI've seen their upward glancesIn hopes of instant salvationI've seen their righteousnessMixed without loving compassionI've watched you smile asThe students bow to kiss your feetHow long will this take, baba?How long have we been sleeping?Do you see me hanging on to every word you say?How soon will I be holy?How much will this cost, guru?How much longer 'til you completely absolve me?Give me strength all knowing oneHow long 'til enlightenmentHow much longer 'til youCompletely absolve me?Ave MariaAve MariaAve MariaAve MariaAve MariaAve MariaSource: LyricFindSongwriters: Alanis Nadine Morissette / Glen BallardBaba lyrics © Concord Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group
