Lyrics Bad Religion – Mediocrity
Text:
I’ve spent my life observing and then pondering this place
and never has confusion ever ceased
I’ve also heard a lot of exhalation of our kind
and sanctimonious reverence for peace
The stories from our childhood condition us to think
that beauty is a basic human trait
But how do they reconcile with daily realities
like poverty and dominance and rape?
that beauty is a basic human trait
But how do they reconcile with daily realities
like poverty and dominance and rape?
But you have to be
stone cold dead not to see
overwhelming incongruity
as we search for suggestion to remedy
Mediocrity
If you just sit back and record what you see
the tragic and exquisite are the same to some degree
but most events depict a common theme
there’s far more disorder then there is harmony
I say you’ve got to be
stone cold dead not to see
overwhelming incongruity
it is pointless to search for teleology
Mediocrity
