[Verse 1]
Don't speak of safe Messiahs
A failure of the Modern Man
To the centre of all life's desires
As a whole not an also ran
[Verse 2]
Love in a hollow field
Break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel
He was thought of as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
[Chorus]
He no longer denies
All the failures of the Modern Man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides
Sees the failures of the Modern Man
[Verse 3]
Wise words and sympathy
Tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch
Sense and reason make it all too much
[Verse 4]
With a strange fatality
Broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race can see
In his way he was the only one
In his way he was the only one
[Solo]
[Chorus]
He no longer denies
All the failures of the Modern Man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides
Sees the failures of the Modern Man
[Verse 5]
Now that it's right to decide
In his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
[Chorus]
He no longer denies
All the failures of the Modern Man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides
Sees the failures of the Modern Man
All the failures of the Modern Man
[Solo]
