They say that old
punks never die, (they just smell that way)... and Bad
Religion is a good example. About the not-dying part, I mean.
A hardworking political punk band for decades, these guys' brains are
bigger than their guitars.
"New America" by Bad Religion
Do you know the
cost of future misery?
Have you lost your sense of sustainability?
We are just a step away
From realizing what we strive to be
But we've got to break out
From this insulated, blind and lame senility
Wake up the new America!
Transcend the mass hysteria!
Change is the thing you're wary of,
We need a new America!
Laurels, human triumph,
Bestowments from the past...
Victories don't mean a thing
If they don't last!
We are just marching toward extinction,
With blinders on our eyes,
Jeopardizing everything
We've learned and come to realize!
You call that wise?
Open your eyes America!
See through the lies they tell to us!
Confront the fears that worry us!
We need a new America!
We don't have to be afraid to re-invent
We've got to start to build
Progress and implement
For when we take our fill
And never pay the price
We only build ourselves
A fleeting, false paradise...
You can live in staunch denial,
And mark me as your enemy,
But I'm just a voice among the throng
Who want a brighter destiny
They say with me
We are the new America!
This is the new America?
