Bad Religion - What Are We Standing For lyrics

[Bad Religion - What Are We Standing For lyrics]

An adventure in secular morality
Shouldn't be an insurrection to us all
And a counterfeit political currency
Shouldn't stand as a patriotic call
All the vitriol and hyperbole
Testifies to vacant humanity
And the rabble that is pounding at the door
Don't know what they're standing for anymore

Find some understanding for
Those who kneel to implore
Know just what they're standing for

What's the lasting legacy
Of the humanistic progress that we made?
Or the blood that spilled for someone else's
Profit, but would never be repaid?
There's a useless hope of the afterlife
But it can't assuage all the toil and strife
And the pious who were promised so much more
Don't know what they're standing for anymore



Show some understanding for
Those who can't hope for more
Know just what they're standing for
Oh oh oh, find some understanding for
Those who kneel to implore
Know just what they're standing for

There's a sound in the attic
Of memories erratic
A firm resolution for an eternal constitution
The bravery of self-defense
Against the pall of ignorance
I shudder to adore those who don't know what
They're standing for

Find some understanding for
Those who can't hope for more
Know just what they're standing for
Oh oh oh, be someone who's standing for
Take a knee on the floor
Know just what you're standing for
