Bad Religion
Strange Denial
[Verse 1]
A mutinous enemy carved a nascent country
Sweat, blood, and valor forms the grit of our history
Bequeathed to everyone: chance and free expression
Substance was restrained and the spirit was broken
[Chorus]
I feel a strange denial
Rhythmic as a change, constant as time
Lonely Insistent whispers
Somber as a wave bye-bye
[Verse 2]
Searching for solution, without constitution
Blackcoats by our sides promising salvation
Advocating dogma as tickets to hereafter
Mortals in their prime with their desperate hands in the air
[Chorus]
Daunting, complex and burning
Rhythmic as change, constant as time
Conflicts, craving approval
Weighted as a murder trial
Oh, I feel a strange denial
[Verse 3]
Correct is consensus; everything else, nonsense
Forward is the hope , forget recompense
Peace and tranquility is only for the wealthy
Dearth for the masses and inequality
[Chorus]
I feel a strange denial
Rhythmic as a change, constant as time
Lonely, insistent whispers
Dissipating in the night
Like a lone, forgotten light
[Outro]
And no one is helping me
It's a strange denial
