In a world of noise and confusion
A modern shaman seeks the truth
But his voice is drowned out by the illusion
Of fake gurus, so uncouth

He won't play their game, won't use their tricks
Won't sell his soul for a quick fix
He shows the people the shit inside
But they turn away, too scared to hide

They want their needs met, without the work
They want the rewards, without the hurt
The shaman knows the path is tough
But the truth is worth the journey, rough


He won't play their game, won't use their tricks
Won't sell his soul for a quick fix
He shows the people the shit inside
But they turn away, too scared to hide


He won't compromise his integrity
For the sake of popularity
He'll keep on speaking, keep on teaching
Even if the masses aren't reaching

In a world that craves instant gratification
The shaman offers true transformation
But it takes courage, it takes grit
To face the demons, to do the work, to commit
[Chorus]
He won't play their game, won't use their tricks
Won't sell his soul for a quick fix
He shows the people the shit inside
But they turn away, too scared to hide

So listen closely, to the shaman's words
Let go of the noise, the distractions, the herd
The journey within, is the only way
To find true peace, in this modern fray
