Lyrics

                                                                  Baba
 
From Speaker’s Corner
To New York’s Washington Square
Everybody
Everybody everywhere
Got solutions to it all
Me I’m mystified
How did we get so smart this day?How did we realize?
 
It was the blue collar boys
From the local conservatory
Making medicine
With a minor celebrity
Talking up a storm
As they paint it white and black
Genesis reborn
If they could only turn the clock back
And Baba, he says
“Come with me”
Do what I do
See what I see
 
Don’t confuse me with the evidence
Or bore me with the facts
I got ‘em on the back foot
And I’m leading the attack
You might look like an elephant
I might look like a sheep
But they’re stealing from the working man
And subjugate the weak
And that’s you
That’s me
 
Now I feel like I’m a child
Who’ll never grow up
I feel my hope is distended
I think I’m stuck
I’m feeling lightweight and pointless
Wishful and guiless
Guilty with the truth
It’s a holiday I’ve been looking for
Since I’ve been watching you
Keep feeding me placebos
Tell me it’s a panacea
It’s like watching last night’s TV
The morning after just get me outta here
 
And Baba he cries
Come with me
Do what I do  See what I see
Baba he cries
“Close your eyes”
It ain’t a lie
If everybody lies
Baba he croons
His schadenfreude
Scripted lines in celluloid
Baba he says
“The only One”
Take him with you
He is my Son
