Submission Complete - Bad Religion

Dedication’s the price you pay

The initiated are coddled and caged

Before you walk, as soon as you crawl

Hope is pointless when you’re stuck in the trawl

Fuck the freshman lectures and brandishments

They just betray impoverished accomplishments

The puppet masters fear originality

They tighten up the tethers and they shackle your feet

Submission complete

Young recruits never have a chance

Enticed to the drill, admonished to dance

Early to rise and early to shine

Life is long but the end is nigh

Break the guilty trammels from yesteryear

Remember how rejuvenation conquers all fears

Lowly opportunists take commanding roles

And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won’t show

The sad reflection

Of dead ambition

You live for nothing

Submission complete

Yeah, break the guilty trammels from yesteryear

Remember how the pain of failure makes it all clear

The lowly opportunists take commanding roles

And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won’t show

The sad reflection

Of dead ambition

You live for nothing

Expectation

Indoctrination

Life’s damnation

Submission complete

Dying on your feet

Submission complete

A total defeat
