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
