Meditation Blues - Natural Child

Well I'm saving up my money

Trying to buy transcendental meditation

'Cause lately all my visions

They been keepin' me awake at night

Now you might think it's funny

You might think I need a new occupation

If I can find my mantra babe

I know that everything will be alright

Well I spend my money boozin'

Writing my name on little pieces of paper

I spend all the change

Left in my pocket

Leaving those generous tips

Now I spend my time doing things

Aint got nothing to do with my spirit

By the time I'm gone to look for it

I don't even know where it went

Well I know I aint a loser

And I know I aint no square

But I'm doin' it just like my daddy did

Before he cut off all of his hair

They got 'em a spiritual center

And I can see it right through the fence

But it's seventeen hundred dollars

Before they're ever gonna let me in

So I try to practice breathing

But I can't seem to get too deep

Guided meditation

It always makes me fall asleep

I can't afford a guru

I can't even afford the rug

And there's no way in hell

I'm going fifteen days

Without taking any ***

So I'm saving up my money

Trying to buy transcendental meditation

'Cause lately all my visions

They been keepin' me awake at night

Now you might think it's funny

You might think I need a new occupation

If I can find my mantra babe

I know that everything will be alright
