616 : 12/17/99 : Killing (Flesh and Bones: An Homage 63/101)

I shouldn’t be allowed
to preach without enlightenment
there oughta be a law
Some license on my gospel tent
What can I do if I’m simply wrong
am I killing Buddha with this song?
I should just write
my own material
this has become
one strange ass serial
I guess I’ve kept it up this long
I guess Buddha can take one more
unenlightened song
He said to kill him
If I met him walking on the path
It sounded dicey
Caught between satori and the grapes of wrath
Maybe I’ve been killing Buddha all along
Maybe I should write another song
