Bad Religion The Defense Lyrics

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today,
Mass paranoia is a mode, not a malady.
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) No peace (and no friends) and 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) and no guide (and no guide),
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (Yeah, right!)
I won't resign before the struggle ends,
So I'll construct a 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) No peace (and no friends) and 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) and no guide (and no guide),
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (Yeah, right!)
I won't resign before the struggle ends,
So I'll construct a 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.

(No shade) Too much to sacrifice, (no light) it's hard to recognize,
(Just black) Just a compromise (and white) obscuring deadly alibies,
(My plans) It's combinational, (designs) the pressure so intense,
So I'll construct this sound defense.

(No way) Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today,
(No sign) I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away.
(No grace) I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white,
(No sense) So I'll construct a sound defense.
