The Animals - Year of the Guru lyrics
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.The Animals - Year of the Guru - http://motolyrics.com/the-animals/year-of-the-guru-lyrics.html
 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
