Bad Religion - 21st Century - lyrics



I cant believe it,
The way you look sometimes,
Like a trampled flag on a city street,
Oh yeah,
And I dont want it,
The things youre offering me,
Symbolized bar code quick id,
Oh yeah,
Im a 21st century digital boy,
I dont know how to live (or read)
But Ive got a lot of toys,
My daddy is lazy middle class intellectual,
My mammys on valium,
Shes so ineffectual,
Aint life a mystery?
I cant explain it,
The things theyre saying to me,
Going yayayayayayaya,
Oh yeah,
I tried to tell you about no control,
But now I really dont know,
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer,
Is that really all you have to offer?

Bad Religion - A Walk - lyrics



Im going for a walk
Not the after dinner kind
Im gonna use my hands
And Im gonna use my mind
And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
You cant even tie your own haggard shoes
Your closet is a mess, and your backyards falling down
And I have no grand ideas or intentions of sticking around
Im gonna build a world
Independant and exempt
All alone Ill be an empire
With no mortgage and no rent
And I dont need to live in your stinking zoo
You cant even feed the animals donated to you
Your storage sheds are ramshackled, flies decorate the walls
And you expect me to die here in this shit-filled tiny stall?
And I know youre watching! everything I do
Call me threat to your children call me socially unglued
Call me master of insanity, unable to relate
Call me lazy, bane, and filthy
Call me monstrous reprobate
Im going for a walk and theres nothing you can do
cuz I dont have to live like you
So Im going for a walk

Bad Religion - 1000 More Fools - lyrics



I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth
Phantasmal myriads of sane bucolic birth
Ive seen the rapture in a starving babys eyes
Inchoate beatitude
The lord of the flies
So what does it mean
When your mind starts to stray?
Kaleidoscopic images of love on the way
Brother youd better get down on your knees and pay
1000 more fools are being born
Every *****ing day
They try to tell me that the lamb is on the way
With microwave transmissions
They bombard us every day
The masses are obsequious
Contented in their sleep
The vortex of their minds ensconced within
The murky deep

Bad Religion - 10 In 2010 - lyrics



parched, cracked mouths, empty swollen guts
sun-baked pavement encroaches on us
haves and have-nots together at last
brutally engaged in mortal combat
10 in 2010

what kind of God orchestrates such a thing?
10 in 2010
ten billion people all suffering
10 in 2010
truth is not an issue just hungry mouths to feed
10 in 2010
forget what you want, scrounge the things you need

happy and content it can't happen to you
10 in 2010
fifteen years we'll think of a solution
10 in 2010
it won't just appear in one day
10 in 2010
for ten in twenty-ten we're well on our way

like piercing ear darts, I heard the news today
10 in 2010
10 billion people...coming your way

Bad Religion - 1000 Memories - lyrics



You were the one,
You were my everything
Never apart,
No one in-between
Then one day,
When you went your own way
You felt justified,
And I was mortified
But today...
You are just a picture
And a thousand memories
Is all I take with me
cuz your smile
Is just too much to see
Youre just a thousand memories
Fantasies, broken dreams
Reveries, sordid histories
Following my heart,
Laden with reaction,
Without calibration or design
Committed to a trial,
A life of understanding
Cant somebody show a sign to you
For me to see if you only knew
That you were the one
You were my everything
Never apart,
No one in-between
Then one day,
When you went your own way
You felt justified,
And I was mortified
But today...
You are just a picture
And a thousand memories
Is all I take with me
cuz a picture is worth
One thousand memories

Bad Religion - 52 Seconds - lyrics



I Know I'm Part Of Something Greater Than Myself
Don't Know The Meaning Of It But I Hope That Matters Less
I Don't Know Anything When I'm Factored Out Of Scale
I Know I'm Part Of Something Greater Than Myself
We're All Engaging In A Game Of Attrition
Maybe God Is Just A Chemical Fiction
I'm A Monkey With A Madding Affliction
With Fact Checking For A Mental Condition
I Know I'm Part Of Something Greater Than Myself
Don't Know The Meaning Of It But I Hope That Matters Less
I Don't Know Anything When I'm Factored Out Of Scale
I Know I'm Part Of Something Greater Than Myself

Bad Religion - Against The Grain - lyrics



Three thousand miles of wilderness
Overcome by the flow,
A lonely restitution of pavement,
Pomp and show,
I seek a thousand answers,
I find but one or two,
I maintain no discomfiture,
My path again renewed,
Against the grain,
Thats where Ill stay,
Swimming upstream,
I maintain against the grain
Here labelled as lunatic,
Sequestered and content,
There ignored and defeated
By the government,
Theres an oriented public whos magnetic
Force does pull,
But away from the potential of the individual,
Against the grain.....
The flow is getting stronger
With smaller increments of time and eddies
Of new ideas are increasingly hard to find,
You need all that the other has,
Your right to seize the day
But in all your acquisitions you will soon
Be swept away,
Against the grain......
Theres a common consensus
And an uncomfortable cheer,
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear,
It sings leave your cares behind you,
Just grab tenaciously,
This lulling sense or purpose will
Destroy us rapidly,
Against the grain.....

Bad Religion - A World Without Melody - lyrics



I dont want to live
In a world without melody
Sometimes the rhythmic din
Of society is too much for me
But purpose is prioritized
These days the goal is win the prize
Theres a sleeping resonance we hold,
Through which were unified
So let it out! dont just get lost in the crowd
No one can deter you from your own path
Theres no trip too remote
From which you cant come back
And Ive got this hunch about you and me
None of us are ready
For a world without melody
Melody is the key,
Its the surest way
To unlock your individuality
Melody is the key,
It will set you free!
Dont disrelish harmony,
Community will make you whole
Work and understanding are the chords
Way deep within your soul
They only need to be struck once,
And the vibrations swell and spread
But if we mute them they decay,
Our sensibilities are dead
So let it out! dont just be one of the crowd
Hesitance and diffidence will do you in
And your soul doesnt care
For social medicine
And Ive got this hunch
About you and me
None of us are ready
For a world without melody
Melody is the key,
Its the surest way
To unlock your individuality
Melody is the key,
It will set you free!
And I know together we could change the world
Just you and me
But I wont live without melody

Bad Religion - A Streetkid Named Desire - lyrics



Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning
And it was time to stand my ground
And as the gawks and stares bombarded me
You know, I didnt even hear a sound
No one gave a damn
If I was there or away
If I died and went to hell,
Theyd throw a party on my grave
And theyd all say
This kid is just a fool, hell never be cool
They might as well just ship him off
To some other school
Plain destitute
Just a little too guilty, just a little too soon
That day was just like any other day
No work, and no pay
I knew that paradise was some other place
And Id get there another day
I will find it before I expire
cuz Ive got the desire
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening
And it was time to set the town on fire
I saw my boots and my hair
As reflected in the mirror
Reveal a streetkid named desire
I didnt give a damn
Because I was just dying to be
And as the hollywood street scene
Left its mark on me
I changed from a boy into a man
I said never again!
I stuck out my chin when I should have ran
Shit in the fan
I was driven so hard
By the sound of my heart
But that day was just like any other day
No work, and no pay
I knew that paradise was some other place
And Id get there another day
I will find it before I expire
cuz Ive got the desire
When the walls surround
In deeper shades of blue
And theres no voice of reason inside you
And you search for meaning
On an empty shelf
Then youre always dreaming
Of somewhere else
Today is just like any other day
No fear, no restraint
I know that paradise is some other place
And I will get there another day
You can come with me,
No conditions or fares
Somehow, somewhere,
I will find it before I expire,
cuz Ive got the desire

Bad Religion - All Fantastic Images - lyrics



England seemed like such a beautiful place from afar
Until one day I saw how miserable things really are
All fantastic images they only are apparent
Propagated just by hope
And desire to share it
Beauty was the allure that brought me close to you
Loneliness was the bond that made me stick like glue
All fantastic images they only are apparent
Promoted by desperate hope
That things are somewhere better
I dont have a thing against fantasy
But to chase it down just doesnt make sense to me
If your only hope is simply peace and love
You end up discarding most of what youre made of
What youre made of...
All fantastic images they only are apparent
Promoted by desperate hope
That things are somewhere better
