Long ago in a dusty village Long ago in a dusty village Há muito tempo em uma empoeirada vila full of hunger, pain and strife full of hunger, pain and strife Cheia de fome, dor e conflito, a man came forth with a vision of truth a man came forth with a vision of truth Um homem chegou com uma visão da verdade and the way to a better life and the way to a better life E um modo melhor de vida, he was convinced he had the answer he was convinced he had the answer Ele estava convencido de ter a resposta and he complelled people to follow along and he complelled people to follow along e compeliu o povo a segui-lo but the hunger never vansihed but the hunger never vansihed Mas a fome nunca foi vencida, and the man was banished and the man was banished O homem foi banido and the village dried up and died and the village dried up and died E a vila secou e morreu. at a time when wise men peered at a time when wise men peered No tempo em que os sábios olhavam through glass tubes toward the sky through glass tubes toward the sky Para o céu através de tubos de latão the heavens changed in predictable ways the heavens changed in predictable ways O paraíso mudou de maneira previsível and one man was able to find and one man was able to find E um homem foi capaz de achar, that he had thought he found the answer that he had thought he found the answer De acreditar ter encontrado a resposta and he was quick to write his revelation and he was quick to write his revelation E rapidamente foi escrever sua revelação but as they were scutinized but as they were scutinized Mas assim que foi propriamente investigado in his colleagues eyes in his colleagues eyes Aos olhos de seus colegas he soon became a mockery he soon became a mockery Logo se tornou motivo de piada. don't tell me the answer don't tell me the answer Não me fale sobre a resposta I've got ideas too I've got ideas too Eu tenho idéias também. but if you've got enough naivete but if you've got enough naivete Mas se você é ingênuo o suficiente and you've got conviction and you've got conviction E tem esta convicção, then the answer is perfect for you then the answer is perfect for you Então a resposta é perfeita para você an urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge an urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge Um amontoado urbano senta em seus próprios dejetos overwhelmed by industry overwhelmed by industry Esmagados pela indústria searching for a modern day savior from another place searching for a modern day savior from another place Procurando por um salvador moderno Vindo de outro lugar inclined toward charity inclined toward charity Inclinado a fazer caridade everyone's begging for an answer everyone's begging for an answer Todos estão implorando por uma resposta without regard to validity without regard to validity Sem se preocupar se ela é válida the searching never ends the searching never ends A procura nunca termina it goes on and on for eternity it goes on and on for eternity Ela segue por toda a eternidade.
