Lyrics to: Baba
By Artist: Alanis Morissette
Ive seen them kneel with faded breath for the ritual
Ive watched this experiance with psuedo higher levels
Ive watched them leave their family in pursuit of their nirvana
Ive seen them coming to line up from switzerland and america
How 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 till youve completely absolved me?
Ive seen them give their drugs in places of natured alters
Ive heard them chanting kali, kali, frantically
Ive heard them rodely repeat you teachers with iditism
Ive seen them boasting the roads, and forgein dangle woods, beat
How 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 till youve completely absolved me?
Ave maria, ave maria...
Ive seen them overlooking God in their own essance
Ive seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation
Ive seen their ritcheouness mixed with their own loving confessions
Ive watched you smile at the people who bowed to kiss your feet
How 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 till youve completely absolved me?
Give me strength all knowing one
How long till enlightenment?
How much longer till youve completely absolved me?
Ave maria, ave maria, ave maria, ave maria
