bad religion
the defense
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today  Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody  Yeah I'd like to watch all thousand cable channels but there's nothing on  And my high speed connection's 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 got to 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 to care in the world   Too much to sacrifice  It's hard to recognize  Just a compromise of purely deadly alibis  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 and steal myself and break away  I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white  So I'll construct this sound defense
