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!
