"DO NOT CLIMB ON THE BUDDHA" by David Guilbault

Do not climb on the Buddha.
Leave that Buddha alone.
Do not climb on the Buddha.
Think about righting a wrong.

Show some respect for the others.
Show some regard for yourself.
Do not climb on the Buddha.
‘Cause, we’re all like ev’ryone else.
‘Cause, we’re all like ev’ryone else.

Don’t tear down your new neighbors.
Don’t build up a new wall.
Don’t tear down your new neighbors.
Your neighbors are part of it all.

Have some love for the hurting.
Have some feel for the pain.
Don’t tear down your new neighbors.
Go out and learn their hard names.
Go out and learn their hard names.

No, do not climb on the Buddha.
Your karma will damn you, I say.
Do not climb on the Buddha.
Let dharma show you the way.
Let dharma show you the way.

Do not climb on the Buddha.
Just think about the hatred you own.
