I don't think anyone has posted these yet, but here you go. Of course, they are unofficial, and I am going by ear. Ears. If anyone notes any descrepencies, please feel free to correct.

(do what you want) Gyaneshwar

(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, that's an AK 47
Get in your cars, everyone, you think you're going to Ashram
Get in your cars, everyone, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, that's an AK 47

Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)

(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, that's an AK 47
You took down three, Gyaneshwar, though they're taking your seven
You took down three, Gyaneshwar but your going to the next one
so (do what you want) Gyaneshwar, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, that's an AK 47

Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)
Ooh, se Donna (who your momma?)

(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, have you been reading your Gita?
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, I've got a bullet repeater
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, I think your Swami's a prankster
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, maybe your Swami's a gangster
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, that's an AK 47
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, but you're going to the next one
(do what you want) Gyaneshwar, that's an AK 47

I believe it's actually:

Ohh, Sadanand (movin' on)

In this article it states that Gyaneshwar was the founder of Sadanand Tatwagyan Parishad.

But I think your right about the AK 47 line I always thought it was Act 47 but AK makes more sense.

Brian & Dean's breakdown of this song on a recent podcast made a lot of sense. I had thought, too, that it was "Act 47," until Brian set me straight. As for the "Who's your momma" line, someone else said that recently. Not sure what thread it was in. It's surely wrong, but transmarine wasn't the only one to hear it that way.

And is it "going to the next one" or "gone to the next one"?


And aren't you havin' fun?

I'm fairly sure it is 'going' as opposed to 'gone' because the rest of the song is in present tense...the assassination is within seconds of happening.

I noticed the AK-47 thing, which was an endearing way to fit it into a song; as far as I am aware, it's commonly pronounced A-K 47. Gangsta rappers like N.W.A. (I believe) used to refer to the "A-K" as being their weapon of choice.

I've never, ever heard it pronounced "ack," like FB does in this song. Not saying he's saying it "wrong," but putting his own twist on it -- probably for the sake of meter.
