Inner Logic - Bad Religion

Automatons with business suits swinging black boxes

Sequestering the blueprints of daily life

Contented, free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual

As they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky

I don’t ask questions, don’t promote demonstrations

Don’t look for new consensus, don’t stray from constitution

If I pierce the complexity, I won’t find salvation

Just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception

There is an inner logic

And we’re taught to stay far from it

It is simple and elegant

But it’s cruel and antithetic

And there’s no effort to reveal it

Graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos

In sagacious dialog they despise their average ways

Betraying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution

Where they practice exclusion on the masses every day

I don’t ask questions, don’t promote demonstrations

Don’t look for new consensus, don’t stray from constitution

If I pierce the complexity, I won’t find salvation

Just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception

There is an inner logic

And we’re taught to stay far from it

It is simple and elegant

But it’s cruel and antithetic

And there’s no effort to reveal it

Decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement

Simulating tyranny under red alert

Protecting the opulent and staging moral standard

They expect redemption of character and self-growth

There is an inner logic

(I don’t ask questions, don’t promote demonstrations)

And we’re taught to stay far from it

(Don't look for new consensus, don’t stray from constitution)

It is simple and elegant

(If I pierce the complexity, I won’t find salvation)

But it’s cruel and antithetic

(Just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception)

There is an inner logic

(No equality, no opportunity)

And we’re taught to stay far from it

(No tolerance for the progressive alternative)

It is simple and elegant

(No equality, no opportunity)

But it’s cruel and antithetic

(No tolerance for the progressive alternative)

And there’s no effort to reveal it
