Alanis Morissette - Baba lyrics

I've seen them kneel with faded breath for the ritual<br>I've watched this experiance with psuedo higher levels<br>I've watched them leave their family in pursuit of their nirvana<br>I've seen them coming to line up from switzerland and america<br><br>How long will this take, baba? <br>How long have we been sleeping? <br>Do you see me hanging on to every word you say? <br>How soon will I be holy? <br>How much will this cost, guru? <br>How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? <br><br>I've seen them give their drugs in places of natured alters<br>I've heard them chanting kali, kali, frantically<br>I've heard them rodely repeat you teachers with iditism<br>I've seen them boasting the roads, and forgein dangle woods, beat<br><br>How long will this take, baba? <br>How long have we been sleeping? <br>Do you see me hanging on to every word you say? <br>How soon will I be holy? <br>How much will this cost, guru? <br>How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? <br><br>Ave maria, ave maria...<br><br>I've seen them overlooking God in their own essance<br>I've seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation<br>I've seen their ritcheouness mixed with their own loving confessions<br>I've watched you smile at the people who bowed to kiss your feet<br><br>How long will this take, baba? <br>How long have we been sleeping? <br>Do you see me hanging on to every word you say? <br>How soon will I be holy? <br>How much will this cost, guru? <br>How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? <br><br>Give me strength all knowing one<br>How long 'till enlightenment? <br>How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? <br><br>Ave maria, ave maria, ave maria, ave maria
