[E]

[Verse 1]
I've seen them [E]kneel
With [F]baited [E]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 [C#]nirvana
[E]I've seen them coming to lin[C#]e up
from [E]Switzerland and America

[Verse 2]
[E]
How long will this take, [F]baba?
[E]How long have we been sle[F]eping?
[E]Do you see me hanging on[F]
to every [E]word you say?
How soon will I be [F]holy?
[E]How much will this cost, gur[F]u?
[E]How much longer 'til you
[F]completely [E]absolve me?
[F]

[Verse 3]
[E]
I've seen them give their drugs up
[Fdim]In place[E] of makeshift alta[Fdim]rs

Kali [Fm]kali [E]fra[F]ntically

[E]Teaching [F]with [E]elitism
I've seen them boasting [Fdim]robe s and[F]
For[E]eign sandalwood bead[F]s

[E]How long will this take, bab[F]a?
[E]How long have we been sle[F]eping?

[F]completely [E]absolve me?

[Verse 5]
[E]I've [F]see[Dm]n[F][Am][E]
them [F]overlooking [E]God in
Their own essence
[F]I'v[E]e seen their upward glance[F]s
In [E]hopes of instant salvation
[F]I've see[E]n their righteousness
[F]Mixed wit[E]hout loving compassion
[F]I've wat[E]ched you smile as
The [Fdim]student [Fm]s bo[E]w to kiss your feet

[Verse 6]
[E]
How long will this take, baba?
[F]How [E]long have we been sleep[F]ing?
