I've been trying to live an Ayurvedic lifeWith the wisdom of the ancient mindsBut I wonder if they'd have been so wiseIf they had to live in these timesCan’t sit cross-legged in the restaurantCan’t lie down on the aeroplaneCan’t do what your urges wantAnd it all adds up to painI’ve been having an oil massage every dayOil in my hair and enemasFootprints on the stairsMy girlfriend's in despairAnd the only food I cook is KitchariNow she's thinking about leaving meToo many turmeric stainsShe thinks that I'm insaneI've got the Ayurveda bluesThe Ayurveda bluesChlorine in the waterPlastic everywhereEMF from everything
No one seems to careParticles in the airPesticides in foodModified and fertilised
To a malevolent magnitudeAnd I'm on my guardBut health these days is so hardAnd you I'd know to like to sleep from 8-4But then my friends all feel ignoredI gotta keep the balance right
But I belong in bed at nightTo meditate in the Brahama MuhurtaIs it to take a step closer to GodAnd every day that I fail to prayI take another step further awayThe secret is the seasonsBut nobody wants the reasonsAs the last sane man aliveIt’s a very lonely driveI know I gotta be a guiding lightLiving the life I know is rightI can't change the world just meSo I'll be the change I want to seeI've got the Ayurveda bluesThe Ayurveda bluesChlorine in the waterPlastic everywhereEMF from everything
No one seems to careParticles in the airPesticides in foodModified and fertilised
To a malevolent magnitudeAnd I'm on my guardBut health these days is so hard
The sages foresawAll these problems beforeAnd predicted the rise of the citiesWhile they studied usWe know so little of themOnly how poorly we compare to these menBut their Sutras surviveAnd they make perfect senseAll we needIs obedienceHanded downFrom enlightened mindsAnd been proved rightA million timesI don't need no AIAin't gonna relyOn no computersI've faith in SutrasI don't need no AICharaka's my guyYou keep computersI've faith in Sutras
