Bad Religion - No Substance lyrics
[Bad Religion - No Substance lyrics]
History doesn't make something right
Consensus is not a fact based exercise
You're tied and bound to
This self indulgent enterprise
We call America
A brush with a star, a token of love
A name in the sand, enough is enough
A diet of air, a face on the net
A fish in your palm, your television set
Once you convince yourself
The universe falls into place
You've got your ideas and
Your posse of friends
You all make up rules and the fun never ends
But still there's a problem
Leaves you gasping for air
You look for some meaning
Blank smiles are all that's there
And still water stales a soft summer breeze
You cling to your hopes while
You drop to your knees there's no substance
There's no substance
Once you convince yourself
The universe falls into place
You've got your ideas and
Your posse of friends
You all make up rules and the fun never ends
But still there's a problem
Leaves you gasping for air
You look for some meaning
Blank smiles are all that's there
And still water stales a soft summer breeze
You cling to your hopes while
You drop to your knees there's no substance
There's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
Consensus is not a fact based exercise
You're tied and bound to
This self indulgent enterprise
We call America
A brush with a star, a token of love
A name in the sand, enough is enough
A diet of air, a face on the net
A fish in your palm, your television set
Once you convince yourself
The universe falls into place
You've got your ideas and
Your posse of friends
You all make up rules and the fun never ends
But still there's a problem
Leaves you gasping for air
You look for some meaning
Blank smiles are all that's there
And still water stales a soft summer breeze
You cling to your hopes while
You drop to your knees there's no substance
There's no substance
Once you convince yourself
The universe falls into place
You've got your ideas and
Your posse of friends
You all make up rules and the fun never ends
But still there's a problem
Leaves you gasping for air
You look for some meaning
Blank smiles are all that's there
And still water stales a soft summer breeze
You cling to your hopes while
You drop to your knees there's no substance
There's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
(There's no substance) there's no substance
