The plainsmen would say,
he's been touched by the Great One
but in a language, I don't understand,

today they'd just say that he's as mad as a hatter
and that's what the matter is
no compassion,

people today would just scalp you and say,
that'll be fifteen quid for the crop.

He's just a nomad and not mad at all
but he
lets the plainsmen win the day
and jabbers away as only a madman can.
