Bad Religion

Bad Religion is a punk rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1979. The band makes extensive use of soaring 3-part vocal harmonies (which they refer to in their album liner notes as the "oozin' aahs"), guitar solos and intellectual lyrics that often contain political or religious commentary. Their lyrics often relate to matters of social responsibility. The band's lineup has changed several times over its lifespan, with lead vocalist Greg Graffin being the only consistent member; the current lineup, however, features three out of four of the band's original members (Graffin, Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley). more »

A refreshing plunge
A drink of palatable water
A deep inspiration on a warm summer day
A safe stroll in the middle of the road community
A neighbor who in times of need will not turn away
I ain't no politician
I am a citizen
And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds
Community protection
Rehabilitation

Police that serve without legitimate right to maim
Global awareness
Ecological guilt
Cultural and environmental awakening
I ain't no optimist
I try to be a realist
And I think that we are living too far out of bounds
Is it too much to ask?
Could it be the world is shrinking?

I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
Remote control
Three cars for every family
Corruption at the expense of the simple majority
A violent crash
A plunder of the third world
Any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy
I ain't no blind supporter
I'm a conscious citizen
And I know that we are living too far out of bounds
Is it too much to ask?
Can we keep the earth from sinking?

I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
(You better not take it for granted anymore)
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
