Bad Religion

Long ago in a dusty village full of hunger pain and strife,
A man came forth with a vision of truth and the 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 towards the sky
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 collugues' eyes
he soon became a mochery.
Don't tell me about the answer cuz then another one will come along soon
I don't believe you have the answer, I've got Ideas too
