Bad Religion - Kyoto Now! lyrics
[Bad Religion - Kyoto Now! lyrics]
It's a matter of prescience
No, not the science-fiction kind
It's all about ignorance
And greed and miracles for the blind
The media parading disjointed politics
Founded on petrochemical plunder
And we're it's hostages
If you stand to reason you're in the game
The rules may be elusive but
Our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down
We all go down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
The world's going to hell
Don't allow this mythologic
Hopeful monster to exact it's price
Kyoto now
We can't do nothing and think someone
Else will make it right
You might not think it matters now
But what if you are wrong?
You might not think there's any wisdom
In a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long
A brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold
Familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
It's never really what you own
But what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Don't allow this mythologic
Hopeful monster to exact it's price
Kyoto now
We can't do nothing and think someone
Else will make it right
In your dreams
You saw a steady state of bounty for eternity
Silent scream
But now the wisdom that sustains
Us is in full retreat
Don't allow
This mythologic hopeful monster isn't
Worth the risk kyoto now!
We can't have vision for the future
If it can't be fixed
Alien we need a fresh and new
Religion to run our lives hand in hand
The arid torpor of inaction
Will be our demise kyoto now!
No, not the science-fiction kind
It's all about ignorance
And greed and miracles for the blind
The media parading disjointed politics
Founded on petrochemical plunder
And we're it's hostages
If you stand to reason you're in the game
The rules may be elusive but
Our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down
We all go down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
The world's going to hell
Don't allow this mythologic
Hopeful monster to exact it's price
Kyoto now
We can't do nothing and think someone
Else will make it right
You might not think it matters now
But what if you are wrong?
You might not think there's any wisdom
In a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long
A brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold
Familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
It's never really what you own
But what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Don't allow this mythologic
Hopeful monster to exact it's price
Kyoto now
We can't do nothing and think someone
Else will make it right
In your dreams
You saw a steady state of bounty for eternity
Silent scream
But now the wisdom that sustains

This mythologic hopeful monster isn't
Worth the risk kyoto now!
We can't have vision for the future
If it can't be fixed
Alien we need a fresh and new
Religion to run our lives hand in hand
The arid torpor of inaction
Will be our demise kyoto now!
