The lyrics contain a conversation between Larry and the protagonist, who claims to have taken away his pain and introduced him to country-acid-house music as a way to spread the word of the Lord. The protagonist is against going to Goa, a place associated with trance music and psychedelics, and prefers to find consciousness expansion through singing at his local church rather than through drug use or new age practices. The song emphasizes the idea that true enlightenment comes from within and not from external sources.
