E             D                     C                 B
Long ago in a dusty village full of hunger, pain, and strife
E                       D                       C               A
A man came forth with a vision of truth and the way to a better life
E                           B             C                          D
He was convinced he had the answer and he compelled people to follow along
B                                     C       A
But the hunger never vanished and the man was banished
        C       D            E    BCBCBCB
and the village dried up and died


E              D                       C                      B
At a time when wise men peered through glass tubes toward the skies
E                          D                    C               A
The heavens changed in predictable ways and one man was able to find
E                                B                 C                       D
That he had thought he found the answer and he was quick to write his revelation
B                                   C          A
But as they were scrutinized in his colleagues eyes
   C             D     E    BCBCBCB
he soon became a mockery


E                       B                  C                           D
Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will come along soon
E                            B       C              B
I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too
C                                A
But if you've got enough neivity and you've got conviction
         C         D          (E)
Then the answer is perfect for you

An urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge overwhelmed by industry

Searching for a modern day savior from another place inclined toward charity
