Looking For The Mahatma Lyrics

Whirling Kalapas Looking For The Mahatma

Another smack down in the wadi
Another brother for whom to feel sorry
Just a face upon a picture
Somebody's father, somebody's sister

Another martyr, great defender
Sucker punched by a hidden agenda
Raise a glass up to the leader
Strike up the band to the great deceiver

It takes a village to make genocide
Why do we care, it's not our tribe
The dead babies, boy that's tough
But who's counting, we've got enough

Lighten up now, don't be so cynical
Think of the damage as collateral
They're for the common good, the dead babies
If I believe that I'm crazy

I need a messiah to take me higher
I need a messiah to take me higher
I need a messiah to take me higher

I'm looking, looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got too far
Looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got-got, couldna got-got, couldna got-
got too far

Break the barrier, cross the border
Serve it up, the new world order
Everywhere across the nation
Give it up to the corporations

Damn the child, forget the family
It's time for a whole new homily
Making money, it's the bitchest
It's survival of the richest, yeah

There's a word now - globalism
Listen up for the new catechism
All together now, in harmony
Compassion is so last century

Oh, drop those histrionics
You gotta wait: trickle-down economics
You're poor because you're lazy
If I believe that I'm crazy

I need a messiah to take me higher
I need a messiah to take me higher
I need a messiah to take me higher

I'm looking, looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got too far
Looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got-got, couldna got-got, couldna got-
got too far

We need a hero, a new saviour
No more of that artificial flavour
A new Satchmo, a new Fonzy
Martin Luther, MK Gandhi
Oh that Gandhi, I think I saw him
At a party at the Hilton
He looked different, spoke Spanish
I tried to reach him but he vanished

I'm looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got too far
Looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar

Raghupati raghava rajaram, patita pavana sitaram
Raghupati raghava rajaram, patita pavana sitaram

I need a messiah to take me higher
I need a messiah to take me higher

I'm looking, looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got too far
Looking for the mahatma
Last seen sitting in a salad bar
Looking for the mahatma
He got away but he couldna got-got, couldna got-got, couldna got-
got too far
