[Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Why Have You Come lyrics]
So, it all comes down to this basic question
That human beings have, for a long
Long time been concerned about
Transforming their minds
Is there any way in which
One's mind can be transformed
Or is it simply a process which is
Nothing more than a vicious circle?
I could ask
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Would it be too presumptuous of mе to
Say that you were looking for help?
That you hopеd you would hear somebody
Who had something to say
That would be of help and relevance to you
As members of a world
Which is running into the
Most intense difficulty?
A world beset by a complex of problems
Any one of which would be bad enough
But when you add together all
All the great political
Social, and ecological problems with
Which we are faced, they are appalling
And one naturally says
"The reason why we are in such a mess is not
Simply that we have wrong systems for doing
Things, whether they be
Technological, political, or religious"
Hallelujah! But we have the wrong people
The systems may be all right
But they are in the wrong
Hands because we are all
In various ways, self-seeking, lacking in
Wisdom, lacking in courage, afraid of
Death, afraid of pain, unwilling, really
To cooperate with others
Unwilling to be open to others
And we all think that's too bad
It's me that's wrong
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Yeah, boy! Yeah, boy!
That human beings have, for a long
Long time been concerned about
Transforming their minds
Is there any way in which
One's mind can be transformed
Or is it simply a process which is
Nothing more than a vicious circle?
I could ask
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Would it be too presumptuous of mе to
Say that you were looking for help?
That you hopеd you would hear somebody
Who had something to say
That would be of help and relevance to you
As members of a world
Which is running into the
Most intense difficulty?
A world beset by a complex of problems
Any one of which would be bad enough
But when you add together all

Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What
Were you looking for?
Yeah, boy! Yeah, boy!
