Portrait Of Authority – Bad Religion – letras

Nothing moreNothing lessAn icon on the wallDecoration and duressThat which manyStrive to beIt’s the marble statueStarring over meAnd nobody has the will to tear it downIt determines wrong and rightBut to me it’s just a stereotypeAnd it makes us lose our sightThe Portrait of AuthorityPortrait of AuthorityYou tell me that’s what I’m supposed to bePortrait of AuthorityYou tell me that’s what I’m supposed to be!Another timeAnother manAn oppressive intrusionAnd a plague across his landAnd it hauntsHim every dayIt tells him he has no chanceHis hopes just fade awayAnd he lives his life prepared to tear it downBut he can’t muster the supportAnd to him it’s just a stereotypeOf his life-long fightThe Portrait of AuthorityPortrait of AuthorityIt embodies what he cannot bePortrait of AuthorityIt’s what he cannot be!The Portrait of Authority!Portrait of AuthorityPortrait of Authority!
