Without regard to validity
And the man was banished
At a time when wise men peered
Don't tell me about the answer
The heavens changed in predictable ways
It goes on and on and on for eternity
But as they were scrutinized
Through brass tubes towards the sky
And you've got conviction
He soon became a mockery
A man came forth with a vision of truth
But if you've got enough naivete
But if you've got enough naivete
That he had thought he found the answer
And the answer is perfect for you
And you've got conviction
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
And one man was able to find
'Cause then another one will come along soon
And the answer is perfect for you
Overwhelmed by industry
I've got ideas too
But the hunger never vanished
The searching never ends
Don't tell me about the answer
An urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge
I don't believe you have the answer
And the village dried up and died
'Cause then another one will come along soon
Searching for a modern day, savior from another place
Inclined toward charity
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
I've got ideas too
In his colleagues' eyes
Everyone's begging for an answer
And the way to a better life
I don't believe you have the answer
And he was quick to write his revelation
And he compelled people to follow along
He was convinced he had the answer
