The Defense – Bad Religion – letras

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world todayMass paranoia is a mode not a maladyYeah, I like to watch a thousand cable channels but there’s nothing onAnd my high speed connection’s monitored daily by the PentagonThese things are seldom what they seemI’m not inclined to enjoy my dreamsWon’t go awayNo peace, and no friendsWe trace the mortal edge (with no defense)To state the obvious, this world is perilous for usNo sense and no guide, ain’t it beautiful to be alive (yeah, right)I won’t resign before the struggle endsSo I’ll construct this sound defenseWe are the prey and culture is the predatorI’m running out of time where conditions are positionalShadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravityThere’s got to be a way to overcome this cruel realityIs there an option left for me? I’m not immune to despondency…There’s no wayNo peace, and no friendsWe trace the mortal edge (with no defense)To state the obvious, this world is perilous for usNo sense and no guide, ain’t it beautiful to be alive (yeah, right)I won’t resign before the struggle endsSo I’ll construct this sound defenseThere’s a signpost on the corner, and it keeps everybody safeWe were all made in the shadeAnd your mother’s in the kitchen, where she’s patching all the cracks in the wallWe never had a care in the world…(No shade) Too much to sacrifice, (No light) it’s hard to recognize(Just black) traps to compromise (And white) obscuring deadly alabies(My plans) It’s combinational, (designs) the pressure’s so intenseSo I’ll construct this sound defense(No Way) Nothing’s plainer than the madness in the world today(No sign) I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away(No grace) I seek initiative in matters that are black and whiteSo I’ll construct this sound defense
