While this song could be about philosophy as a practice in general, it seems more likely that it is more about those who misunderstand the point of it. More specifically, how they use hard to understand philosophical ideas as a shallow way to boost their own egos and claim to be “enlightened”.
Buddha Was A Rich Boy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You read a lot of books
A lot of smart books and art books
You say your cat is one with things
But I swear it does the dumbest things
You like champagne in your orange juice
Laughin' when I can't pronounce the names of foreign foods
I'm sorry if I'm borin' you
[Chorus]
Well Buddha was a rich boy
The Dalai Lama was a rich boy
I just wanna be a rich boy too
Then I'll be enlightened like you
Well Krishna was a rich boy
And Plato was a rich boy
Aristotle was a rich boy too
I wanna be enlightened like you
Ha!
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my shit
While your friends go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
And your schools go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
And your books go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
And we all go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
[Chorus]
Well Buddha was a rich boy
The Dalai Lama was a rich boy
I just wanna be a rich boy too
Then I'll be enlightened like you
Well Krishna was a rich boy
And Plato was a rich boy
Aristotle was a rich boy too
I wanna be enlightened like you
Ha!
[Post-Chorus]
Don't patronize me with your self-actualizing
[Bridge]
Give me something to rebel against
So I can feel more relevant
Give me something to rebel against
I wanna feel intelligent
Give me something to rebel against
So I can feel more relevant
Give me something to rebel against
I wanna feel intelligent
[Chorus]
Well Buddha was a rich boy
The Dalai Lama was a rich boy
Well I just wanna be a rich boy too
Then I'll be enlightened like you
Well Krishna was a rich boy
And Plato was a rich boy
Aristotle was a rich boy too
I wanna be enlightened like you
Hooh!
[Post-Chorus]
Keep your records alphabetical
And your actions theoretical
[Verse 4]
Your job goes
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
And your shows go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
And your songs go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
While we all go
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
[Chorus]
Well Buddha was a rich boy
The Dalai Lama was a rich boy
Well I just wanna be a rich boy too
'Cause then I'll be enlightened like you
Well Krishna was a rich boy
And Plato was a rich boy
Aristotle was a rich boy too
I wanna be enlightened like you
Well Buddha was a rich boy
The Dalai Lama was a rich boy
Well I just wanna be a rich boy too
Then I'll be enlightened like you
Well Krishna was a rich boy
And Plato was a rich boy
Aristotle was a rich boy too
I wanna be enlightened like you
