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


(continue pattern w/ lyrics)
At a time when wise men peered through glass tubes toward the skies
The heavens changed in predictable ways and one man was able to find
That he had thought he found the answer and he was quick to write his revelation
But as they were scrutinized in his colleagues eyes
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
Then the answer is perfect for you

(solo, then continue w/ lyrics)

An urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge overwhelmed by industry
Searching for a modern day savior from another place inclined toward charity
Everyone begging for an answer without regard to validity
The search it never ends it goes on and on and on for eternity
