year of the guru

Lyrics

my leader told me to jump in the river, the river was deep and the weather was winter, after a sailer very kindly saved me, my leader told me, you'd better take it easy, i took it so easy my leader called me lazy, through the lack of red meat, everything was getting hazy, friends looked at me and said, man, you gotta be crazy, oh, oh leader, my leader said son you'd better get yourself together, never mind the fools who know what we're getting into, but a forty mile walk would do us both a world of good, and he sat down and watched me take off down the road, well, i walked so far my feet began to bleed, if this was good for me i just couldn't see it, a motorist picked me up and said, look man, you must be crazy, oh, oh leader, oh, oh leader, my leader came to see me in a hospital bed, well at least i really knew that my leader really cared, after giving me a second-hand roach, he said where's your donation man, it's all for a good cause, he left me all alone to work the riddle out, but i just couldn't make it so i began to shout, they stuck a hypodermic deep down into me, said, look out nurse i think we got a loony, oh, oh leader, okay baby follow me now, follow your leader, all right, now here i sit in a state-run asylum, limitless, friendless but much more together, i decided to do some good book readin', about the art of people leadin', now i'm the leader and they're being led, what's the matter if they're crazy till you hear what i've said, being the leader is really where it's at, but just how long can a good thing last, oh, oh leader, oh, oh leader, now listen to this baby, this is the year of the guru, now the thing to do is to ask yourself, what can a guru do for me?, then you say to yourself, i gotta get a guru
