I have had a song stuck in my head for a LONG time, but can’t remember the title!

it starts off kinda mello with the lyric “I shut down my chakras, shift Shiva off my shelf, took down my tie-dies and my tibetan bells…” etc. The there is a rap in the middle… something about “I don’t need no freaky-deaky fractal geometry, digitized silicone chip…” etc.

PLEASE help… I heard this song when I worked at a new/alternative rock radio station 6 or 8 years ago, and it may very well save me a mental breakdown if someone can provide me a title and artist!

That’s it, but didn’t Utah Saints remix it or something?
