Bad Religion

The wheat waving next to you
is healthy and so fine
as is dinner with your loved ones everyday
But your routine is changeless
through the decades of your life
green pastures, open spaces, holy ways
And it must look pretty appealing
The acres of light, the crowded festive nights
and the millions of others just like you
Yeah it must look pretty appealing
This other world of sin
We keep dreaming of what other people do....
The person sitting next to you
is dismal and deranged
on the bus ride home from work to end your day
And the food on your table
is more plastic than protein
and your intellect depends on your TV
And it must look pretty appealing
The Pastoral Retreat, the folks on old main street
and the few pleasent people just like you
Yeah it must look pretty appealing
This simple way of life
We keep dreaming of what other people do...
but we never do what other people do...
You're too scared of other people not like you!
