Too Many Gurus

from High Contrast / Too Many Gurus by Kerry JK

lyrics

My poor old inbox keeled over last night
After a bad attack of good advice blight
A thousand jealous gods were crowding the light
I wish they'd all just get out of my sight
And they said:
"Don't be a fool! Forget what others say!
Buy my secret system, it's the only way!"
There's too many gurus and not enough humility.

They've been to dreamland, now they're selling advice
They promise certainty from rolling the dice
You can look inside the wardrobe if you pay the right price
But you can never get to Narnia the same way twice
And they said:
"A year ago I was just like you, kid
Desperate for status at the bottom of the pyramid"
There's too many gurus and not enough humility

Respect the accomplishments of those that came before
But leave your blind faith and credulity at the door
Grow your own set of wings if you want to learn to fly
Don't put all of your hope in a superhero passing by

If you want to know the point of this song
Beware of any teacher that insists everybody else is wrong
We all have our own paths and all of them are long
When their shortcuts fail they'll tell you it's because your faith's not strong
Wisdom from the mouths of babes
Charlatans and fakes
You can learn a whole lot from them
But most of all from their mistakes
There's too many gurus and not enough humility
