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!
