[Verse 1]
Well, he ain’t my boy, but the brother is heavy
Gave away my possessions and moved in to a Chevy (van
Yeah, that’s the master plan)
(Drive to woods and eat corn out the can)
Yeah I gave it all away, the hard rock band
The groupies, the booze, the all-night jams
Now all these fans, askin’ “Where did he go?”
(Meditating on a rock lettin’ go of the ego)
So rapping with the squirrels is the way of the mountain
They took half my nuts and berries and riddled “Who’s countin’?”
Bit my finger with the truth, the blood was spoutin’
Now my cup overfloweth, just like a fountain
Seen birds in the sky, trees in between
Grubs in the ground, it was so serene
The sky was blue, yeah the gra** was green
(And that’s three square meals if you know what I mean!)
So now I wake up every morning with a fat cup of piss
My third eye’s open, so give me some Swiss Miss
Saw a thirty foot fairy walking down your street
Thought I was down with God, I had to yell “Retreat!”
[Hook]
Because I gone guru so cut the ballyhoo
Rock the tambourines and the didgeridoo
Set the animals free from the pimpin’ zoo
And I’ll elevate your mind like airplane glue
[Verse 2]
Out in the desert on a three-day stint
I had a revelation and I made a mint
So take a hit and won’t you join the club
Send your wives to my hut for the body rub
Mental guru in the Subaru
Four-wheel drive to the commune
Pick up the crew
And we out to the zen monastery on the prairie
Where I milk the holy cow, but quit the dairy
So run with the yeti eatin’ veggie spaghetti
Don’t have to live like no refugee, peace to Tom Petty
Ready, steady, spiritually grow
Til I found out my boy worked for the COINTELPRO
Graham, damn, now I gots to scram
And start handin’ out my leaflets in Bethlehem
Cause the Bible’s played out, so I’m writing a new text
(We are all one, so what’s the problem with group s**?)
And so many children want to join the fold
(Mike Love on line two) Put that s**er on hold
And shine, to thine own self be true
They can’t tell you what to do when you’ve gone guru
(Yeah, shine, to thine own self be true
They can’t tell you what to do when you’ve gone guru!)
(You got to shine, to thine own self be true
They can’t tell you what to do when you’ve gone guru)
[Hook]
Gone guru, I’m the new Nehru
So rock the tambourines and didgeridoo
I’ll deliver who-ever pays what’s due
That’s nine for me, and one for you
[Interlude]
Awwwwwwwww yeah, we got it going on and it’s strong up in here tonight!
We got that incense burning! We got them peacock feathers, tickling!
We got all that cuckoo karma connection, that you can use
So come on, people, get with the program!
We can get this together…
Tonight!
[Verse 3]
Too many wives for Ohio, they were looking to try me
So I got twelve divorces said aloha, Hawaii
Arrived without traveling, they lost the bags
Another trial for my people, don’t scratch the Jag
(They might say hang loose, but they really don’t mean it!)
Deported me to Rio and you watched it on CNET
News chumps had me singing the blues
Til thirty thousand showed up with the right to choose
Rose petals in bed, milk in my bath
And now Harrison Ford wants my autograph
I laughed when we met, cause he busted a sweat
Then I stuck out my tongue, he donated a jet
(Stole the spotlight from the Dali Lama
Cause my crews coming tight in the orange pajamas)
(Got 16 Caddies and 29 Rolls
f** the shoes, I transcend through soles)
With constant expansion, I live in a mansion
Getting jiggy with Madonna and Marilyn Manson
60 Minutes exposé, taxes you never paid
Papparazzi, Code Blue! Down toupee!
Yes I’m starting to age, I can feel it in my bones
My advisers tell me (Start thinking ’bout clones)
Found out! heaven is a place on earth!
I cut off my head it cost all I was worth
Cryogenic robot, now my head can spin
(I’ll be around a million years, so let the party begin)
PARTY ROBOT!!! (Now my head can spin
I’ll be around a million years, let the party begin)
[Outro]
Gone guru, new Nehru
Rock tambourine and didgeridoo
Must free animals from pimpin’ zoo
Deliver who, two plus two
Gone gone gone-gone, gone gone, gone gone gone-gone gone gone
Gone gone gone-gone, gone gone, gone gone gone-gone gone guru
