You all have it right. I remember when Seventh Sojourn came out my college roommate (yes, I'm that old!) was really pissed off at the Moodies for this song. He really thought of them as revolutionary visionaries and read a whole lot into their lyrics (OK, I admit it, so did I). This song was a very clear statement that as far as being a prophet goes (to borrow from Dylan) "no no no, it ain't me babe, it ain't me you're looking for, babe."
