Bad Religion - Victims of the Revolution lyrics
[Bad Religion - Victims of the Revolution lyrics]
What will prove to be our big mistake?
Short-sighted arrogance, all for what sake?
Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
Our progeny, in silence
Thinking "what about us?"
But don't forget the dance of neglect
The march for empowering prosperity
The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity
Just maternal residue, and I was there, too
And maybe, so were you
When something is won
It comes with sacrifice
It's there beneath the joy, the glory
And pride rarely it's acknowledged
But in positive light
Consciously omitting the losers plight
But don't forget the dance of neglect
The craving for community that never was met
The longing for status and overture of regret
With no one to deter, pathetically unsure
Forgetting who they were
Short-sighted arrogance, all for what sake?
Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
Our progeny, in silence
Thinking "what about us?"
But don't forget the dance of neglect
The march for empowering prosperity
The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity
Just maternal residue, and I was there, too
And maybe, so were you
When something is won
It comes with sacrifice
It's there beneath the joy, the glory
And pride rarely it's acknowledged
But in positive light
Consciously omitting the losers plight
But don't forget the dance of neglect
The craving for community that never was met
The longing for status and overture of regret
With no one to deter, pathetically unsure
Forgetting who they were
