lyrics

I was walkin' by the convent
Overheard somebody prayin'
Speakin' words I'd never heard
So I ask what she was sayin'

Musta' come on a little too strong
'Cuz she squinted her eyes real tight
And made her voice real low
Like she was lookin' for a fight

She said I'll punch you in the yin yang
I'm gonna' hit you in the star and crescent
You're gonna' wish that you were never reborn
Yep I'm sendin' you back to the mission

Gonna' rough up your wheel of dharma
And make you scream ramalama ding goddamn
Leave you hurtin' at the torii gate
I'm gonna' punch you in the yin yang

Well I picked myself up
Tried to say a prayer
But I didn't know who to pray to
There was so many deities there

I went and dusted off my ichthys
My dharmachakra and triskelion
Drank some water from a flaming chalice
And lifted up my unicursal hexagram, whatever that is
