GURU, PLEASE TELL ME
(Music and Lyric by Louis Rosen)

Guru, please tell me what you know
Are there heavens above us?
Is there fire below?
Are time and space like Einstein said?
I got all these questions in my head

I’ve read some books
And I’ve read them well
And I’ve read that Earth is really Hell
And sometimes I think so
It kills my mood -
How the rich get richer and the poor get screwed.

Guru, please tell me
Do we return?
Is it life we long for?
Is it rest we yearn?
See, I’m kind of old and the end’s in sight
But I got this date on Friday night…

Now if we return we should all take heed
‘Cause we know where our misdeeds will lead –
Right back where we started
No passing Go –
Just another opening of another show.

If the past and the now and the future are one
My granddad’s father
Could shake hands with my son
But if the lives that I’ve led are all happening now
I’ll never clean up this mess, no how

Yes, if the past and the now and the future are one
My granddad’s father could shake hands with my son
But if the lives that I’ve led are all happening now
I must confess –
It’s an S.O.S. –
'Cause I’ll never clean up this mess –
No how!
