From the recording Looking for Something
This track playful questions, “Why not try transcendence?” as it dances along.
Lyrics
Words & music by Major Black
So you’re LOOKING FOR SOMETHING won’t you try this
Polyphonic thrill won’t you try this
This how we kick it down in Venice won’t you try this
There’ll be no hidden fees won’t you try this
(Maha-Mantra)
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
So you tried a new boyfriend won’t you try this
Went back to your old boyfriend but you didn’t try this
Doctor can you make me pretty won’t you try this
Now you bought new hair, you bought a new nose
and he still won’t call you back maybe you oughtta try this
(Maha-Mantra)
So you bought the new i-Thing won’t you try this
You trying to write a new app-thing but you never tried
I wrote the boys in the White House told ‘em to try this
They called me on the phone, laughed in my face
then we all sat around and we began to try this
(Maha-Mantra)
Rap
I let you in on a secret that’s amazing great
How sweet the sound, (better get on it), before it’s too late
Lord Chaitanya done already said, that this is the way
To be happy (c’mon children/in this age), every single day
Everybody wants pleasure that never ends
And all them swamis, gurus and sages recommend
That chanting Hare Krishna will deliver the bliss
So while you’re LOOKING FOR THINGS, please
Won’t You Try This!
