Bad Religion "The Defense" |
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady Yeah, I'd like to watch a 1000 cable channels but there's nothing on And the high speed connection's monitored daily by the pentagon These things are seldom what they seem I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams [Won't go away] [No peace] No peace [and No friends] and No friends [We trace] We Trace the mortal edge [with no defence] To state the obvious This world is perilous for us No sense [No sense] and No guide [No guide] Ain't it beautiful to be alive [Yeah right] I won't resign before the struggle ends So I'll construct this sound defense We are the prey and culture is the predator I'm running out of time where conditions are positional Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality Is there an option left for me I'm not immune to despondency There's no way [No peace] No peace [and No friends] and No friends [We trace] We Trace the mortal edge [with no defence] To state the obvious This world is perilous for us No sense [No sense] and No guide [No guide] Ain't it beautiful to be alive [Yeah right] I won't resign before the struggle ends So I'll construct this sound defense There's a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe We were all made in the shade And your mother's in the kitchen where she's patching all the cracks in the wall We never had a care in the world oh - ohhh [No Shame] Too much to sacrifice [And no life] It's hard to recognize [Just Black] Traps that compromise [And White] Obscuring deadly alibis [My Plans] It's combinational [Decide] The pressure's so intense So I'll construct this sound defense [No Way] Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today [No Sign] I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away [No Graves] I seek initiative in matters that are black and white [No Sense] So I'll construct this sound defense Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
