Kindly Songtext
von Akira the Don feat. Alan Watts
Kindly Songtext
Then the great problem, how to get that higher self-working
How does it make any difference to
What you do and what you think?
I know all kinds of people who got this
Higher self going, practicing their yoga
But they′re just like ordinary people
Sometimes a little worse
And they can fool themselves
Fool themselves
They can fool themselves
They can say, for example, "Well, my point of View in rеligion is very liberal."
"I beliеve that all religions have divine revelation in them,
But I don't understand the way you people will fight about it."
"You fight and say that we
Jehova′s Witnesses have the 'real religion'."
(Real religion)
Others say, "Well, we Roman Catholics have it."
And the Muslims say, "No, it is in the Quran,
And this is the right way."
(This is the right way)
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
And somebody else gets up, and he may be a
Rather highbrow Catholic, and say, "Well,
God has given the spirit through all the traditions,
But ours is the most refined and mature."
And then, somebody comes along and says, "Well,
As I said, they′re all equally revelations of the divine."
And in seeing this, of course,
I′m much more tolerant than you are
You see how that game is gonna work?
The architect, this position,
Supposing you regard me as some sort of a guru,
And you know how gurus hate each other
Always putting each other down
And I could say, "Well, "I don't put other gurus down."
See, that outwits all of ′em
They were always doing that!
They're always finding a way to be one up,
And by the most incredibly subtle means
So you see that, you see?
And you say, "I realize I′m always doing that.
Tell me, how do I not do that? "
(How do I not do that?)
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
How do I not do that?
This is the right way
How do I not do that?
This is the right way
This is the right way
This is the right way
How do I not do that?
This is the right way
How do I not do that?
Say why do you wanna know?
Well, I'll be better that way
Yeah, but why do you wanna be better?
Why do you wanna be better?
Why do you wanna be better?
You see, the reason you want to be
Better is the reason why you aren′t
We aren't better because we want to be
Because the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Because all the do-gooders in the world,
Whether they're doing good for others or doing it for themselves,
Are troublemakers
Troublemakers
On the basis of, "Kindly let me help you or you′ll drown,"
Said the monkey, putting the fish safely up a tree
"Kindly let me help you or you′ll drown,"
Said the monkey, putting the fish safely up a tree
"Kindly let em help you or you'll drown,"
Said the monkey, putting the fish safely up a tree
"Kindly let me help you or you′ll drown,"
Said the monkey, putting the fish safely up a tree
"Kindly let me help you or you'll drown,"
Said the monkey, putting the fish safely up a tree
"Kindly let me help you or you′ll drown,"
