Bad Religion - Against the Grain lyrics
[Bad Religion - Against the Grain lyrics]
Three thousand miles of wilderness
Overcome by the flow
A lonely restitution of pavement
Pomp and show i seek a thousand answers
I find but one or two
I maintain no discomfiture
My path again renewed
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
Here labeled as lunatic
Sequestered and content
There ignored and defeated by the government
There's an oriented public whose
Magnetic force does pull
But away from the potential of the individual
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
The flow is getting stronger with
Smaller increments of time
And eddies of new ideas are
Increasingly hard to find
You need all that the other has
It's your right to seize the day
But in all your acquisitions you
Will soon be swept away
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
There's a common consensus and
An uncomfortable cheer
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
It sings, "leave your cares behind you
Just grab tenaciously"
This lulling sense or purpose
Will destroy us rapidly
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
Against the grain against the grain
Against the grain
Overcome by the flow
A lonely restitution of pavement
Pomp and show i seek a thousand answers
I find but one or two
I maintain no discomfiture
My path again renewed
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
Here labeled as lunatic
Sequestered and content
There ignored and defeated by the government
There's an oriented public whose
Magnetic force does pull
But away from the potential of the individual
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
The flow is getting stronger with
Smaller increments of time
And eddies of new ideas are
Increasingly hard to find
You need all that the other has
It's your right to seize the day
But in all your acquisitions you
Will soon be swept away
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
There's a common consensus and
An uncomfortable cheer
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
It sings, "leave your cares behind you
Just grab tenaciously"
This lulling sense or purpose
Will destroy us rapidly
Against the grain that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
Against the grain against the grain
Against the grain
