The Defense

de Bad Religion

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody
Yeah, I'd like to watch thousand cable channels but there's nothing on
And my high speed connection 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 and no friends
We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To state the obvious: This world is perilous for us!
No sense and no guide!
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (yeah right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense!

We are the prey and culture is the predator
I'm running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
There's gotta be a way to overcome this grim reality

Is there an option left for me?
I'm not immune to despondency
There's no way!

No peace and no friends
We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To state the obvious: This world is perilous for us!
No sense and no guide!
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (yeah right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense!

There's 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!

(No shade)
Too much to sacrifice
(And no light)
It's hard to recongnize
(Just black) traps to compromise (and white)
Obscuring deadly alabis
(My plans) it's combinational, (designs) the pressure's soIntense
So I'll construct this sound defense!
(No way) nothing plainer than the madness in the world today
(No sign) I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away
(No grace) I seek initiative in matters that are black and white
