BAD RELIGION - The Answer lyrics

rate me

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