Reply #3: Shattered Faith - Bad Religion [View All]

[ZombieNixon]

The scientists purported that there ain't no purpose
And the theologians told me that's all been designed
And I'm trying to maintain objectivity
The world won't illuminate what really matters
And I'm an imperfect moral meaning extractor
Processing the complexity

CHORUS:
Born of the earth (are we blind?)
We weren't given a choice (there's no way)
What about free will? (what we have)
Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)
See them run in place (here and now)
In the human rat race (no reward)
So much dead weight (no debate)
To our disgrace (just shattered faith)
Life begins when you accept your fate

Paralysis from forces raging out of control
Until my confidence and will are at an all-time low
Just directionless wandering
Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets
Isolated hopes and hypotheses
Just leave me feeling so hungry

CHORUS

Right or wrong
The main criterion
Is what you do and not what you say
The roads you take
The friends you make
And the ones you throw away
The method is
A simple synthesis
Of the past and present state
You never lose
If the path you choose
Is one you can easily navigate

I had a dream
Light and carefree
But now there's doubt
And gravity

But I won't run in place (are we blind?)
In the human rat race (there's no way)
I can set the pace (what we have)
And accept my fate (is shattered faith)
Shattered faith (here and now)
Shattered faith (no reward)
The part of me (no debate)
I can't erase (just shattered faith)
