Bad Religion - Too Much to Ask lyrics
[Bad Religion - Too Much to Ask lyrics]
A drink of palatable water
A deep inspiration on a warm summer day
A safe stroll in
A middle-of-the-road community
A neighbor who, in times of need
Will not turn away
I ain't no politician i am a citizen
And I wonder if I'm living
Too far out of bounds
Community protection, rehabilitation
Police that serve without legitimate
Right to maim
Global awareness, ecological guilt
Cultural and environmental awakening
I ain't no optimist i try to be a realist
And I wonder if I'm thinking
Too far out of bounds
Is it too much to ask?
Could it be the Earth is shrinking?
(Could it be) i can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
Remote control three cars for every family
Corruption at the expense of
The simple majority a violent clash
A plunder of the third world
Any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy
I ain't no blind supporter
I'm a conscious citizen
And I know that we are living
Too far out of bounds
(Ah) Ain't no politician
(Ah) Ain't no blind supporter
(Ah) I ain't no mouth to feed
(Ah) I am a citizen
And I wonder if I'm living
Too far out of bounds
Is it too much to ask?
Can we keep the Earth from sinking?
(Can we keep) i can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
(You better not take it for granted anymore)
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
