1. So I told him that he'd better shut his mouth
   And do his job like a man.
   And he answered "Listen, Father,
   I will never kill another."
   He thinks he's better
   Than his brother that died
   What the hell does he think he's doing
   To his father who brought him up right?
   
R: Take your place on The Great Mandala
   As it moves through your brief moment of time.
   Win or lose now you must choose now
   And if you lose you're only losing your life. 
   
2. Tell the jailer not to bother
   With his meal of bread and water today.
   He is fasting 'til the killing's over
   He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet.
   But he's a coward, he's just playing a game
   He can't do it, he can't change it
   It's been going on for ten thousand years 
R:
   
3. Tell the people they are safe now
   Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell.
   Death has gagged his accusations  
   We are free now, we can kill now,
   We can hate now, now we can end the world
   We're not guilty, he was crazy
   And it's been going on for ten thousand years! 
   
   Take your place on The Great Mandala
   As it moves through your brief moment of time.
   Win or lose now you must choose now
   And if you lose you've only wasted your life.
