Lyrics Bad Religion – The Profane Rights Of Man

Hostility to every living creature
Like anti-intellectual demands
«Inalienable» is not some moving feature
It’s foundational bedrock of the land

So it’s criminal, antithetical, inimical
To enlightened plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle of the profane rights of man

And so returns the bourgeoisie
The bastard child of democracy
Morphs into aristocracy
Demands advantage, it must not receive
But if the citizen will not stay it’s hand
The myth becomes a menace on the land

And it’s criminal, antithetical, inimical
Intelligence and knowledge are an ordnance
A constant check on privilege and wealth
Nurture and provisioning their furtherance
A fundament of democratic health

So it’s criminal, antithetical, inimical
To enlightened plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle of the profane rights of man
