My leader told me to jump in the riverThe river was deep and the weather was winterAfter a sailer very kindly saved meMy leader told me, you'd better take it easyI took it so easy my leader called me lazyThrough the lack of red meatEverything was getting hazyFriends looked at me and said,Man, you gotta be crazyOh, oh leaderMy leader said son you'd better get yourself togethernever mind the fools who know what we're getting intoBut a forty mile walk would do us both a world of goodand he sat down and watched me take off down the roadWell, I walked so far my feet began to bleedIf this was good for me I just couldn't see itA motorist picked me up and saidLook man, you must be crazyOh, oh leaderOh, oh leaderMy leader came to see me in a hospital bedWell at least I really knew that my leader really caredAfter giving me a second-hand roachHe said where's your donation man,It's all for a good cause.He left me all alone to work the riddle outBut I just couldn't make it so I began to shoutThey stuck a hypodermic deep down into meSaid, look out nurse I think we got a loonyOh, oh leaderOkay baby follow me nowFollow your leaderAll rightNow here I sit in a state-run asylumLimitless, friendless but much more togetherI decided to do some good book readin'About the art of people leadin'Now I'm the leader and they're being ledWhat's the matter if they're crazy till you hear what I've saidBeing the leader is really where its atBut just how long can a good thing lastOh, oh leaderOh, oh leaderNow listen to this babyThis is the year of the guruNow the thing to do is to ask yourselfWhat can a guru do for me?Then you say to yourselfI gotta get a guru
