DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA
[Verse 1]
Prince Siddhartha Gautama
You did something bad
People call you Buddha
But you're a deadbeat dad
You left Yashodhara
Your hot lactating wife
You wanted enlightenment
More than family life
You also left Rahula
Your newborn only son
‘Cause you thought navel-gazing
Would be much more fun
[Chorus]
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA!
DOING YOGA!
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA! DOING YOGA!
BUDDHA YOU’RE A LAZY ASS BRAGGING ‘BOUT YOUR 8-FOLD PATH
[Verse 2]
You snuck out of your castle
'Cause family life's a hassle
You stayed away for six long years
While your family wiped its tears
You meditated in the jungle You became a holy guru
You avoided dirty diapers
With the stinky boo-boo
[Chorus]
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA!
DOING YOGA!
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA! DOING YOGA!
BUDDHA YOU’RE A LAZY ASS BRAGGING ‘BOUT YOUR 8-FOLD PATH
[Verse 3]
Buddha, Buddha, here's my gripe
About you getting all the hype
You got sacred peace and bliss
while I slept in puddles of infant piss
You got your nirvana
While babies barfed on my neck
Green peas and banana
you’re a lotus-sniffing heel jumping off the parent wheel
And it’s not fair!
[Chorus]
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA!
DOING YOGA!
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA! DOING YOGA!
BUDDHA YOU’RE A LAZY ASS BRAGGING ‘BOUT YOUR 8-FOLD PATH
[Bridge]
What about me?
What about me?
What about me? What about me?
Buddha you are ballyhooed as a holy transcendent dude
Truth is - you’re a quitter But but you’re famous, and I’m bitter
You got 30 million hits on Google while I lost 1,000 nights of sleep, now my brain's a rotten noodle
Buddha, you’re a Slacker-Pappy, you’re a
[Chorus]
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
GONE GAUTAMA!
DOING YOGA!
DEADBEAT DAD!
IN A SAFFRON TOGA!
YOU’RE A LAZY ASS FUCK OFF WITH YOUR 8-FOLD PATH
