Mr. Richards, your position is a messenger pigeon, 
E5                    Emaj7 E5
left behind you when the camp moved on.
E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7
You thought that you had listened but the words had never crystallized,
E5                    Emaj7 E5
into a truth that you might own, hey hey

Mr. Richards your forgiven for a narrow lack of vision,
E5                    Emaj7 E5
but the firesare still raging on...

razed where zealots sang, hey, hey
