Bad Religion - Empty Causes lyrics

[Bad Religion - Empty Causes lyrics]

Everywhere you looked
There was confusion violence, drama and drugs
So many righteous revolutionaries
Spouting utopian love
Everyone shrouded in purple haze
Then one day
They woke up from their dream state
They found themselves no more
At peace than before
Older, meek and conformed

Empty causes
A bluster for the soul, a fix for the mind
Empty causes cling to everything you find

Well, the shots rang out like popcorn
And the Chief was hit and rushed out of sight
The mohawk-chain, leather brigade
Rejoiced maliciously on that night
Someone cried out, "fuck the government"
His mates couldn't define what he meant


So no one gave him the time of
Day and the scene died away

Empty causes
A war for the body, an army in the mind
Empty causes losing steam as time goes by

Could it be that everybody selfishly desires
Their own personal retinue
And that causes are just manifestations
Of too much time and far to little to do?

Empty causes direction for the soul
Conviction for the mind empty causes
Cling to it all, everything you find
Empty causes
A war for the body and an army in the mind
Empty causes
You've got yours and I've got mine
