View: Lyric Explanation
The Aryan Civili-Civilization kicks
2,000 BC with the Vedic Text
Explaining Hinduism at its best
Creates a Caste System supporting wealth
Can be a richer, brighter, better self
With some good karma, reincarnated health
Chorus:
First was Hinduism
Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu
I’m karma-driven to be reunited with you
While Buddhist creator
Siddhartha Gautama
Searched for the answers in this life
As the enlightened one
Oh, Ghandi try to combine
The Mauryan Indian Indian Indian Empire grows
300 BC when the people chose
To believe that Buddha, not the Caste System, knows
Nirvana’s possible in this here life
No need for the reincarnation slice
Escape desire and your suffering plight
The Gupta Empire
Takes right over around 300AD
They thought the Caste System was quite essential
So it’s Hinduism set free
Yes, Hinduism for you and me
The 1800’s saw the British, British, British invade
Exploited resources by selling trade
Caused dissension and a little hate
But Ghandi won over the hearts and the minds
Of the people with a peaceful fight
INC & independence were tied
