Lyrics
My gurus all died broke
From some kind of incident, heart attack or stroke
Most likely they were hopped up on their drug of choice
And when they uttered their last words no one heard their voice
You could say they were uncommon folk
My gurus all died broke
Fame and fortune eluded them so
Accomplishment is all they would know
They charted the paths others would take
They were the reality behind the fake
And if there was money in gettin' screwed
They'd all be some wealthy dudes
My gurus all died broke
From some kind of incident, heart attack or stroke
Most likely they were hopped up on their drug of choice
And when they uttered their last words no one heard their voice
You could say they were uncommon folk
My gurus all died broke
You probably owe an unpayable debt
To people you ain't even heard of yet
'Cause there's the official story and then there's the truth
Forget all that garbage you were taught in your youth
Just listen to your heart and go where you feel
You'll find what matters—you'll find what's real
…And you'll find some new friends
My gurus all died broke
From some kind of incident, heart attack or stroke
Most likely they were hopped up on their drug of choice
And when they uttered their last words no one heard their voice
You could say they were uncommon folk
My gurus all died broke
Better to have done it than make some bravado claim
Better to have been someone than some touted name
Yeah they were uncommon folk
My gurus all died broke
