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 
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#           
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#        
completely absolve me 
 
 
F#   G 
Ave Maria.......
