Requiem For Dissent – Bad Religion – letras

Oratory of hope and glory a whisper and a rhymeAn effigy, a soldier out of timeCitizen and patriot you can’t be far behindThe funeral is weighting heavy on your mindRequiemBring the dissident from slumberRequiemRaise the rebel from its graveRequiemSound the revolution’s thunderA monumental blunder averted and betrayedDig around the cemetery a record of the dayFriends and neighbors in stages of decayBut the saddest thing of all eludes discoveryThe stimulus for this somber ceremonyRequiemBring the dissident from slumberRequiemRaise the rebel from its graveRequiemSound the revolution’s thunderA monumental blunder averted and betrayedThe sanctimonious minions how they grovel at the feetAuthority is populist deceitPity yet another casualty’s demoralized declineJust a victim of irrational designRequiem! Requiem!RequiemBring the dissident from slumberRequiemRaise the rebel from its graveRequiemSound the revolution’s thunderA monumental blunder averted and betrayed
