My leader told me to jump in the river   The river was deep and the weather was winter   After a sailer very kindly saved me   My leader told me, you'd better take it easy   I took it so easy my leader called me lazy      Through the lack of red meat    Everything was getting hazy   Friends looked at me and said,   Man, you gotta be crazy      Oh, oh leader      My leader said son you'd better get yourself together   never mind the fools who know what we're getting into   But a forty mile walk would do us both a world of good   and he sat down and watched me take off down the road      Well, I walked so far my feet began to bleed    If this was good for me I just couldn't see it   A motorist picked me up and said   Look man, you must be crazy      Oh, oh leader   Oh, oh leader      My leader came to see me in a hospital bed   Well at least I really knew that my leader really cared   After giving me a second-hand roach   He said where's your donation man,   It's all for a good cause.      He left me all alone to work the riddle out   But I just couldn't make it so I began to shout   They stuck a hypodermic deep down into me   Said, look out nurse I think we got a loony      Oh, oh leader   Okay baby follow me now    Follow your leader   All right      Now here I sit in a state-run asylum   Limitless, friendless but much more together   I decided to do some good book readin'   About the art of people leadin'      Now I'm the leader and they're being led   What's the matter if they're crazy till you hear what I've said   Being the leader is really where its at   But just how long can a good thing last      Oh, oh leader   Oh, oh leader      Now listen to this baby   This is the year of the guru   Now the thing to do is to ask yourself    What can a guru do for me?   Then you say to yourself   I gotta get a guru
