F G
how long will this take baba
F G
how long have you been sleeping
F G
do you see me hanging on to
F (indian riff)
every word you say
F G
how soon will I be holy
F G
how much will this cost guru
F
how much longer `til you
G F (indian riff)
completely absolve me
Verse(same):
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 repeat your
teachings with elitism
i`ve seen them boasting robes and
foreign sandalwood beads
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
REPEAT CHORUS
F G
Ave Maria
