Chasing the Wild Goose

Bad Religion is a punk rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1979. The band makes extensive use of soaring 3-part vocal harmonies (which they refer to in their album liner notes as the "oozin' aahs"), guitar solos and intellectual lyrics that often contain political or religious commentary. Their lyrics often relate to matters of social responsibility. The band's lineup has changed several times over its lifespan, with lead vocalist Greg Graffin being the only consistent member; the current lineup, however, features three out of four of the band's original members (Graffin, Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley). more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

There was a man who banged his head against a wall
He banged for twenty years, the damn thing wouldn't fall
He left an honest life
He left a broken wife
He left it all behind, just to see what he could find

Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight
To conquer loneliness they'll chase it all their lives
And when they find it they can just lay down and die
It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize.

There was a woman who had a man as cold as ice
He built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside
She harbored loneliness
Her husband couldn't guess
That she'd take off her dress
And kill herself without a mess.
