Standard (EADGBE)

Long ago, in a dusty village full of hunger, pain and strife,

A man came forth with a vision of truth and a way to a better

life.

He was convinced he had the answer and he compelled people to

 follow along.

 But the hunger never vanished, and the man was banished, and

 the village dried up and died.

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'd found the answer and he was quick to

 write his revelations.

 But as they were scrutinised in his colleagues eyes, he soon

 became a mockery.

Chorus

Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will

 come along soon.

I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too.

 But if you've got enough naiveté, and you've got conviction,

 Then 'The Answer' is perfect for you.

An urban sprawl sits, choking on it's discharge, overwhelmed

 by industry,

Searching for a modern day saviour from another place,

inclined toward charity

Everyone begging for an answer without regard to validity,

 The searching never ends, it goes on and on and on for

 eternity.

Chorus

The answer is perfect for youu!
