Siddhartha left the palace his father raised him in,
shielded him from evil with material things.
So a-journeyin' he went to find out the truth
behind all the lies he was told all his life.
So he tried to renounce
all the things he disliked about himself.
Saying, "Couldn't we just kick all the perpetrators out?!
Leave me BE! Please!! Just go somewhere else.
I said, the party is OVER now. So get out of my house.
'Cuz I'm tired of these games
that I've been playing
and I feel so ashamed I ever let it begin."
Yeah, I'm done with that shit!
No doubt about it!
Here is the fountain, now drink devoutly!
...And pull a Siddhartha with me.
