When a guru tells me
the things he says he sees,
it’s like a pile of pollen
that makes me have to sneeze.
When a guru tells me
the things he says he knows,
I need to blow my mind
as if it were my nose…
I’ve got a guuuuuuuuru allergy
I’ve got a guu guu guu guu guu
guu guu guu guu guu guuuru allergy!
When I was young and gullible,
I’d heed what gurus taught,
now they congest my consciousness
that’s way too full of thought.
Be they from East or West,
Confucius or Aquinas,
they stress my mind like dust
wreaks havoc in my sinus…
I’ve got a guuuuuuuuru allergy
I’ve got a guu guu guu guu guu
guu guu guu guu guu guuuru allergy!
They may hold millions in their thrall
with visions dark or sunny,
but when I hear a know-it-all,
I run like a nose that’s runny…
I’ve got a guuuuuuuuru allergy
I’ve got a guu guu guu guu guu
guu guu guu guu guu
guuuru allergy!
a guu guu guu guu guu guu guu
guu guu guu guuuru allergy
a guu guu guu guu guu
guuuru aaaallerrrrrrrgy!
