Текст песни Alanis Morissette - Baba
Alanis Morissette - Baba слова песни
I`ve seen them kneel
with baited breath for the ritual
I`ve watched this experience raise
them to pseudo 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 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 up
in place of makeshift altars
I`ve heard them chanting
kali kali frantically
I`ve heard them rotely repeatly your
teaching 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 student bow to kiss your feet
[Chorus]
Give me strength all knowing one
how long `till enlightenment
how much longer `til you
completely absolve me
