Текст песни Year Of The Guru - The Animals , Eric Burdon

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 said to 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"
Ooh leader
Ooh leader
My leader said son you'd better get yourself together
Never mind the fools who know what we're getting into
A 40 mile walk would do us both a world of good
He sat down, watched me take off down the road
Well, I walked so far my feet began to bleed
This was good for me I just couldn't see it
A motorist picked me up and said, "Look man, you must be crazy"
Ooh leader
Ooh 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"
Ooh leader
Ooh leader
Okay baby follow me now
Follow your leader
Alright
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 'til you hear what I've said
Being the leader is really where it's at
But just how long can a good thing last?
Ooh leader
Ooh 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"
"I gotta get a guru"
"I gotta get a guru"
A guru, guru, guru
A good guru
A good guru
A good guru, a guru
A guru, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru
A guru, a guru
I gotta get a guru, I gotta get a guru
A guru get me, I gotta get a guru
A guru, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru
I gotta get a
I gotta get a guru
I gotta get a
I gotta get a
I gotta get a, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru, a guru
A guru, a guru, a guru
I gotta get a
I gotta get a...
