Bad Religion

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 »

Catch a shooting star and put it in your pocket 
Then your pants will start on fire
One bird in the hand, or two birds in the bush
Neither do you any good, when you`re stuck in the quagmire

Show everyone you`re not sure that they`re telling he truth
Then you can be known as the universal cynic too

Benefit your fellow man with good deeds for the day 
And you`ll serve your life away 
Pennies saved today are pennies still tomorrow 
Strewn upon the desk, piled up in the paper weight 

Show everyone you`re not sure that they`re telling the truth 
Then you`ll be known as the universal cynic too
Wipe your opaque eyes and restore your crystal vision
Turn another cheek and exalt in your decision
A bit of exercise for the universal cynic in you

Early to bed, and early to rise
Precludes you from seeing the most brilliant starry nights
Sticks and stones can break bones, words can`t really hurt
Unless you carry guns, and are hungry for a fight

Challenging the standards, or questioning the established rules 
Trying to understand how they can benefit you 
Showing everyone you`re not sure that they`re telling the truth
Just a bit of exercise for the universal cynic in you
