Baba lyrics

Artist  : Alanis morissette 
Song : Baba
 
I've seen them kneel with faded breath for the
ritual
I've watched this experiance with psuedo higher
levels
I've watched them leave their family in pursuit
of their nirvana
I've 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 you've completely absolved
me?

I've seen them give their drugs in places of
natured alters
I've heard them chanting kali, kali, frantically
I've heard them rodely repeat you teachers with
iditism
I've 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 you've completely absolved
me?

Ave Maria, Ave Maria...

I've seen them overlooking God in their own
essance
I've seen their upward glances in hopes of
instant salvation
I've seen their ritcheouness mixed with their own
loving confessions
I've 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 you've completely absolved
me?

Give me strength all knowing one
How long 'till enlightenment?
How much longer 'till you've completely absolved
me?

Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria
