Top 10 Bad Religion lyrics

Rate this Entry
Hey now, like I said in my first post, lists can be as general or specific as I want since it's my blog. Let's go to the specific. Listening to Gray Race, I was thinking about what my favorite lyrics are. Here they are.

10) "And a song came on the radio like a cemetary rhyme for a million crying corpses in their tragedy of respectable existance." - Hooray for Me...

9) "What is right and what is wrong? / The government decides / You don't have to like the laws as long as you abide" - Politics

8) "Staggering like birds against a hurricane, and trying all the while to stay out of each other's way." - Parallel

7) "I remember her face that August night when we lied about the beautiful times to come." - Anesthesia

6) "There's no room left in Heaven and there's sure no room in Hell." - Big Bang

5) "What was once is reduced to rememberance." - Cease

4) "I am just an atom in an ectoplasmic sea without direction or a reason to persist / The anechoic nebula rotating in my brain is persuading me, contritely, to persist." - Delirium of Disorder

3) "Like a rock, like a planet, like a fucking atom bomb--I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness that I encounter everywhere I turn." - Generator

2) "You heard love from the lips, you were rapt by the hips, and the promise was eternal but you couldn't see that far." - Drunk Sincerity

1) "This madness shoots me like bullets smashing glass in a silent movie." - Incomplete

Excuse any minor errors and/or typos.

    Nice list. One of my personal faves = "Drunk with the assertions they know they can’t defend" --Live Again

    Oboe, that makes me think of Avon's thread about that. I still want to know what he meant by that.

    I think all of these are prime examples of why Bad Religion rule. I love "Parallel" more than babies.

    Yeah, "Parallel" is one of the best songs lyrically.

    It's a shame that only you and I understood the concept of that thread. It really brought up a good point that most people saw as black and white. However, black and white as it may have seemed, it should have been pointed out that the lyrics were terribly ambiguous.

    I dunno, man. I'm glad you understand the concept of the word "might" and its implications.
