My leader told me to jump in the river
|
The river was deep and the weather was winter
|
After a sailer very kindly saved me
|
My leader told me, you'd better take it easy
|
I took it so easy my leader called me lazy
|
|
Through the lack of red meat
|
Everything was getting hazy
|
Friends looked at me and said,
|
Man, you gotta be crazy
|
|
Oh, oh leader
|
|
My leader said son you'd better get yourself together
|
never mind the fools who know what we're getting into
|
But a forty mile walk would do us both a world of good
|
and he sat down and watched me take off down the road
|
|
Well, I walked so far my feet began to bleed
|
If this was good for me I just couldn't see it
|
A motorist picked me up and said
|
Look man, you must be crazy
|
|
Oh, oh leader
|
Oh, oh leader
|
|
My leader came to see me in a hospital bed
|
Well at least I really knew that my leader really cared
|
After giving me a second-hand roach
|
He said where's your donation man,
|
It's all for a good cause.
|
|
He left me all alone to work the riddle out
|
But I just couldn't make it so I began to shout
|
They stuck a hypodermic deep down into me
|
Said, look out nurse I think we got a loony
|
|
Oh, oh leader
|
Okay baby follow me now
|
Follow your leader
|
All right
|
|
Now here I sit in a state-run asylum
|
Limitless, friendless but much more together
|
I decided to do some good book readin'
|
About the art of people leadin'
|
|
Now I'm the leader and they're being led
|
What's the matter if they're crazy till you hear what I've said
|
Being the leader is really where its at
|
But just how long can a good thing last
|
|
Oh, oh leader
|
Oh, oh leader
|
|
Now listen to this baby
|
This is the year of the guru
|
Now the thing to do is to ask yourself
|
What can a guru do for me?
|
Then you say to yourself
|
I gotta get a guru
|
