Alanis Morissette - Baba Lyrics
Ive seen them kneel with faded breath for the ritualIve watched this experiance with psuedo higher levelsIve watched them leave their family in pursuit of their nirvanaIve 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 till youve completely absolved me?Ive seen them give their drugs in places of natured altersIve heard them chanting kali, kali, franticallyIve heard them rodely repeat you teachers with iditismIve seen them boasting the roads, and forgein dangle woods, beatHow 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 essanceIve seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvationIve seen their ritcheouness mixed with their own loving confessionsIve watched you smile at the people who bowed 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 till youve completely absolved me?Give me strength all knowing oneHow long till enlightenment?How much longer till youve completely absolved me?Ave maria, ave maria, ave maria, ave maria
