The Defense - Bad Religion

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today

Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody

Yeah I’d like to watch all thousand cable channels but there’s nothing on And my 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 and No Friends

We Trace the mortal edge with no defense

To State the obvious

This world is perilous for us No sense and 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 positionnal

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 and No Friends

We Trace the mortal edge with no defense

To State the obvious

This world is perilous for us No sense and 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 to care in the world

(no shame) Too much to sacrifice

(and no lies) it's hard to recognize

(just plan) Just a compromise

(??)of purely deadly alibies

(??)It's combinational

(Design)the pressure 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 break) I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white (no sence)

So I’ll construct this sound defense
