we have a new God, the pot.
! Om Shanti Om !
it's a very pleasing thought,
for He lives in my home.

God, they say, took our sins
and purged our souls of it.
the new one's even better
He even takes the shit.

So say 'No' to the babri
and 'No' to the mandir too.
what my country really needs
is a humungous public loo.

give every man a pot, i say
and stop all the rioting.
let him sit, crap, and cogitate
on life, religion. everything.

loo'ists of the world unite !
but now i shut my trap
it turns my bowels to water
to read my rhyming crap.

! Om Shanti Om!
