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 crack developed and a name blew in
Billy gnosis, weak and thin
He moved to California to start a new life
Cause back in his hometown he just killed his wife

He started drinking heavy back then
He starting eating things that made his head thin
Then his brain became a factory
For making chemicals that shouldn't be

Oh Billy couldn't remember his name
Billy gnosis was going insane
And soaked in blue light he played and played
I can still hear that sound he made

Billy burned his phone and blew up his car
He sat and watched TV and played the guitar
And read a book that made his head spin
How could he have known that there were worms within?
And the worms ate into his brain
Through his eyes and through his ears they came
They left their home so they'd multiply
And feed on Billy's chemicals in paradise.

Oh Billy couldn't remember his name
Our unsung hero had gone insane
And soaked in blue light he played and played:
The only thing that killed the worms: my brain
