Bad Religion - Age of Unreason lyrics
[Bad Religion - Age of Unreason lyrics]
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who risked his life
Who challenged all the lies
Offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light
The notion that we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
But oh, when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and
Brought back tyranny
To divide his people with zeal
But we can live as one in perfect harmony
It requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
But oh, as a child who plays for fun
With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watchin' fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Now that darkness has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
Watch the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Was a man who risked his life
Who challenged all the lies
Offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light
The notion that we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
But oh, when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and
Brought back tyranny
To divide his people with zeal
But we can live as one in perfect harmony
It requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
But oh, as a child who plays for fun
With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watchin' fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Now that darkness has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
Watch the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
