  5454>Mark and Danny in the Greek Hotel
  Bold as badgers on a one-take Mission
  Got their equipment from a dwarf outside
  On the trail of any suspect wisdom
  Pond-Life beneath a Southern sky
  (They make their move then they head off to the border)
  They don't care as long as you can pay -
  Whatever - whatever they say
 
 
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  We know his name and he mustn't get away
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  It would take one shot - to blow him away...
 
 
  Now's the time to have some big ideas
  Now's the time to make some firm decisions
  We saw the Buddha in a bar down south
  Talking politics and nuclear fission
  We see him and he's all washed up -
  Moving on into the body of a beetle
  Getting ready for a long long crawl
  He ain't nothing - he ain't nothing at all...
 
 
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  We know his name and he mustn't get away
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  It would take one shot - to blow him away...
 
 
  Death and Money make their point once more
  In the shape of Philosophical assassins
  Mark and Danny take the bus uptown
  Deadly angels for reality and passion
  Have the courage of the here and now
  Don't take nothing from these ½-baked buddhas
  When you think you got it paid in full
  You got nothing - you got nothing at all...
 
 
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  We know his name and he mustn't get away
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  It would take one shot...
 
 
  Oh... we're gunning for the Buddha
  We know his name and he mustn't get away
  We're on the road and we're gunning for the Buddha
  Saying something, saying something unsafe
  We're on the road
  Oh... we're gunning for the Buddha
  (Yeah, Yeah)
  We're on the road
  You know we're gunning for the Buddha
  You see him blow right there
  We're on the road
  We're gunning, we're gunning,
  We're gunning on the road
  We're gunning, we're gunning
  We're gunning for the Buddha
  Gunning for the Buddha
  Gunning for the Buddha
  Gunning for the Buddha
