Deadbeat Dad in a Saffron Toga
Prince Siddhartha Gautama, you did something bad People call you "Buddha" but you’re also a Deadbeat dad
you wanted to focus on your spiritual life so you ditched Yosadhara, your hot lactating wife you also left Rahula, your newborn only son ‘cause you thought navel-gazing would be much more fun
you stayed away for six long years while your family wiped its tears You snuck out of your castle 'cause family life's a hassle you became a gone Gautama in the jungle with your lamas eating veggies, doing yoga Deadbeat Dad in a saffron yoga
Buddha, Buddha, here's my gripe about you getting all the hype Buddha! You got peace and bliss while I slept in puddles of infant piss!
you became a holy guru while I cleaned up stinky boo-boo you got your nirvana while baby barfed up on my neck, green peas and banana
Siddhartha - you got famous - 26 million hits on Google while I lost a thousand nights of sleep, my brain's a stupid noodle Buddha you discovered the 8-Fold Path but as a Pop - you're a lazy ass you ran away because you're frightened now we say you're so enlightened
what a heel jumping off the parent wheel Slacker-Pappy, gone Gautama got nirvana but still you’re just a bad Deadbeat Dad
