WE HAVE TO BE A PERFECT EXAMPLE

WE MUST BE A PERFECT EXAMPLE
WE MUST BE A PERFECT EXAMPLE
OUR SUPREME FATHER WE MUST REFLECT
FOR ALL PLANETS ARE TRULY GOD’S TEMPLES
SO TO ALL WE MUST GIVE FULL RESPECT.

NOW EVERYTHING HAS GONE WRONG
FOR WE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHERE WE BELONG
OBEYING KRISHNA ALL LOVING AND STRONG
ALWAYS GLORIFYING SHRILA BHAGAWAN.

OUR ONLY SAFE AND PERFECT AUTHORITIES
ARE LORD KRISHNA AND HIS PURE PREACHERS
WHO ARE SINLESS WITH PURE LOVE FOR KRISHNA
THEREFOR EVERY ONE OF KRISHNA’S CREATURES.

SO IF WE WANT A PEACEFUL CIVILISATION
WE MUST RETURN TO OUR ETERNAL STATION
OF PERFECT AND PURE SELF REALISATION
OBEYING THE FATHER OF EVERY NATION.

OR BEING THE SERVANT OF THE SERVANT OF GOD
NOW PERFECTLY MANIFEST AS SHRILA PRABHUPADA
OR ALL WE CAN DO IS FIGHT JUST LIKE DOGS
ENJOYING WHATS ABOMINABLE JUST LIKE HOGS.

WE MUST KNOW THE PRESENSE OF OUR AUTHORITIES
IS THE ETERNAL SOUND VIBRATION IN THEIR BOOKS
AND THOSE KNOWING THEM AND OBEYING THEM
ONLY THEY CAN GUIDE ALL FROM BEING ONLY CROOKS.

FULLY BELIEVING WE BELONG TO A PLACE
THAT IS NOTHING BUT A DISGUSTING DISCRACE
OUR HEARTS MUST BE CLEANSED OF ALL THIS DIRT
OR ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW LIFE’S ONLY WORTH.

WE MUST COMPLETELY OBEY GOD
OR WE JUST WANT TO WORSHIP A DOG
ONLY BECAUSE GOD WE COMPLETELY FORGOT
WE KNOW NOT WHAT MUST FILL OUR THOUGHTS.

SO GOD PLEADS NOW TAKE SHELTER OF HIS NAMES
IN THIS MOST DEGRADED AND FOOLISH AGE
PLEASE JUST ALWAYS CHANT THIS SACRED PRAYER
TO REMEBER PLEASING GOD IS YOUR ONLY CARE.

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

WHEN GOD’S HOLY NAMES WE DON’T HEAR
WE CAN ONLY LIVE IN STRUGGLE AND FEAR
WHEN WE REALLY HEAR WE FEEL KRISHNA NEAR
AND OUR EYES FILL WITH ONLY LOVING TEARS.
