Riff 1

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

F#m G F#m G

How long will this take baba, how 
long have we been sleeping

F#m G F#m Riff 2

Do you see me hanging on to every 
word you say

F#m G F#m G

How soon will I be holly, how much 
will this cost guru

F#m G F#m G F#m

How much longer 'til you completely 
absolve me

Riff 1

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

Chorus

Riff 1

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

Chorus

F#m G F#m G

Give me strength all knowing one, 
how long 'til enlightenment

F#m G F#m Riff 2

How much longer 'til you completely 
absolve me
