Changing Tide - Bad Religion

Every day’s the same routine

Of endless chores and boring details

And you know you’re waiting for the perfect

Condition for your ship to set sail

But of course the climate’s always changing

Clinging to the past has got you straining

Comes the recognition now

You’re on a mission that is born to fail

(Leave it!)

Brothers, say goodbye

Sisters, don’t you cry

All, embrace the times

Wade into the changing tide

Searching for philosophy of life can be a drag on the soul

Nowadays we pick and choose the pieces

From other people’s wisdom of old

But of course the climate’s always changing

Clinging to the past has got you straining

Realizing all your most cherished beliefs

Are subject to rot and mold

(Come on!)

Brothers, say goodbye

Sisters, don’t you cry

All, embrace the times

Wade into the changing tide
