Bad Religion - The Defense lyrics

Album: The Process Of Belief (2002)

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady
[Yeah] I´d like to watch a 1000 cable channels but there is nothing on
And the high speed connections monitored daily by the pentagon
These things are seldom what they seem
I´m not inclined to enjoy my dreams[Won´t go away]

[No peace]No peace & [No friends]No friends
We trace [We Trace] the mortal edge [mortal edge]
To state the obvious
This world is perilous for us
No sense[No sense] & No guide[No guide]
Ain´t it beautiful to be alive[Yeah right]
I would not resign before the struggle ends
So I´ll construct this sound defense

We are the prey & culture is the predator
I´m running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance & depravity
Theres got to be a way to overcome this grim reality
Is there an option left for me
I´m not immune to despondency
Theres no way

[No peace]No peace & [No friends]No friends
We trace [We Trace] the mortal edge [with no defense]
To state the obvious
This world is perilous for us
No sense[No sense] & No guide[No guide]
Ain´t it beautiful to be alive[Yeah right]
I would not resign before the struggle ends
So I´ll construct this sound defense

Theres a signpost on the corner
and it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in the shade

And your mother´s in the kitchen
where she´s patching all the cracks in the wall
We never had a care in the world
oh - ohhh

No sense [too much to sacrifice] & no guide [it´s hard to recognize]
No friends [too much to compromise] & no alibis .....
so I´ll construct a self-defense

Too much to sacrifice
it´s hard to recognize
Traps to compromise, obscuring deadly alabies
It´s combinational
the pressure so intense
So I´ll construct this sound defense

Nothing´s plainer than the madness in the world today
I must conceal myself & steal myself & break away
I seek initiatives in matters that are black & white
So I´ll construct this sound defense
