Lyrics - Adam's Atoms Some live, some die Everybody wonders why we're here Should we even try? Philosophers lost in the night A beacon in the distance You gotta turn around Its vestige dimly flickers in elocution sound The modernist chronometer uptight and underwound Pretensions of a higher ground Higher ground Introspective paradise found Adam's atoms resound Economy of nature The dead and shallow graves The particles of happiness elude us in their names A psychosymbiotical reflection on the waves Eternal as the night and day Night and day Omnipresent? of fate Adam's atoms remain The righteous opposition has led us all astray One side against the other One loses, one reclaimed And if reconciliation eludes us every day Then will we ever find a way? Find a way Not with our allogeneous gaze Adam's atoms remain Adam's atoms betray Adam's atoms remain
Lyrics - Skyscraper Come let us make bricks and burn them hard We'll build a city with a tower for the world And climb so we can reach anything we may propose Anything at all Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper Build me up and tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all I know why you tore it down that day You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out to play You had your revenge Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper Build me up and tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all Well madness reigned and paradise fell When Babel's walls came crashing down Now the echoes roar for a story writ That was hardly understood And never any good Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper Build me up and tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all
Absolutely incredible. I have just about everything they've released, but just found this today. As good a the solo piano version of Cease on Greg's American Lesion album. Great stuff!
Lyrics - Won't Somebody Won't somebody please come up with something Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working And all of the rest are really down in the ratings While everyone is right here waiting Out in the cold Like a bundle of coal Little packets of darkness Wanting to glow Well there's nobody home And there's a wreck in the yard And maybe they're coming back If we wish really hard If we wish real hard, now Won't somebody please come up with something Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working And all of the rest are really down in the ratings But everyone is gonna keep on waiting Waiting for peace At the end of our streets Back behind our apartments In our passenger seats Just a moment of prayers Of all of the ways The despair and oblivion Of our precarious race It's ours to face now Won't somebody please come up with something 'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially workin' And all of the rest are really down in the ratings But everyone is still right here waiting Now I know nothing lasts forever So we might as well wish for a goddamn fix Of this toxic change in weather Won't somebody please come up with something 'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially workin' And all of the others can barely stay in the runnin' But everyone is gonna keep on waiting Won't somebody please come up with something (4x)
Lyrics - Dearly Beloved Here's a story of an honest man losing religion Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation Then while praying came a wicked inspiration Brothers, sisters, this is what he said Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved (Make no mistake, despite our traits I've seldom seen) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you), I can't relate to you He was the kind of guy who'd always go right out of his way But more before the crazy notion leapt right into his head And stubbornly crept into every mad perception I can't deny a funny feeling when he said Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved (Make no mistake, despite our traits I've seldom seen) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you), I can't relate to you Dearest in memoriam, set phasers to stun And grab yourself a neighbor's skeleton to lean upon Did you know him in life one filled with regret So soon we all forget we ever met Do you know my name sing a light refrain For a man estranged I won't deny that I'm inclined to isolate Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved (Make no mistake, despite our traits I've seldom seen) (I can't relate to you) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you)

You should feel good if you're one of the few. But it should scare the shit out of you also. Keep talking to people. Offend when necessary. But start with compassion. Remember it's not their fault until they understand themselves.
Suggestion bruh...I have a C word so try this remedy Turkeytail mushroom tea you will find yourself closer too him....and it will come too pass. The party will continue.
I love this band I've been listening for 30 years
Bad Religion,and punk rock have gotten me through difficult times.
Greg blows my mind with his lyrics. Dude is sooooo smart.
I love these, especially the reworking of Skyscraper on piano.
This is the fibre of my soul
Lyrics - Adam's Atoms
Some live, some die
Everybody wonders why we're here
Should we even try?
Philosophers lost in the night
A beacon in the distance
You gotta turn around
Its vestige dimly flickers in elocution sound
The modernist chronometer uptight and underwound
Pretensions of a higher ground
Higher ground
Introspective paradise found
Adam's atoms resound
Economy of nature
The dead and shallow graves
The particles of happiness elude us in their names
A psychosymbiotical reflection on the waves
Eternal as the night and day
Night and day
Omnipresent? of fate
Adam's atoms remain
The righteous opposition has led us all astray
One side against the other
One loses, one reclaimed
And if reconciliation eludes us every day
Then will we ever find a way?
Find a way
Not with our allogeneous gaze
Adam's atoms remain
Adam's atoms betray
Adam's atoms remain
Lyrics - Skyscraper
Come let us make bricks and burn them hard
We'll build a city with a tower for the world
And climb so we can reach anything we may propose
Anything at all
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up and tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all
I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out to play
You had your revenge
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up and tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all
Well madness reigned and paradise fell
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar for a story writ
That was hardly understood
And never any good
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up and tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all
Muito bom mesmo esse álbum acústico!!!!! Parabéns!
Bad religion is the shit if you can comprehend it’s greatness.
Absolutely incredible. I have just about everything they've released, but just found this today. As good a the solo piano version of Cease on Greg's American Lesion album. Great stuff!
I wish there was acoustic versions of every bad religion song 😭
NEVER HEARD NOTHING LIKE BAD RELIGION IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Lyrics - Won't Somebody
Won't somebody please come up with something
Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working
And all of the rest are really down in the ratings
While everyone is right here waiting
Out in the cold
Like a bundle of coal
Little packets of darkness
Wanting to glow
Well there's nobody home
And there's a wreck in the yard
And maybe they're coming back
If we wish really hard
If we wish real hard, now
Won't somebody please come up with something
Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working
And all of the rest are really down in the ratings
But everyone is gonna keep on waiting
Waiting for peace
At the end of our streets
Back behind our apartments
In our passenger seats
Just a moment of prayers
Of all of the ways
The despair and oblivion
Of our precarious race
It's ours to face now
Won't somebody please come up with something
'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially workin'
And all of the rest are really down in the ratings
But everyone is still right here waiting
Now I know nothing lasts forever
So we might as well wish for a goddamn fix
Of this toxic change in weather
Won't somebody please come up with something
'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially workin'
And all of the others can barely stay in the runnin'
But everyone is gonna keep on waiting
Won't somebody please come up with something (4x)
The first track is great and never more revelant
Lyrics - Dearly Beloved
Here's a story of an honest man losing religion
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation
Then while praying came a wicked inspiration
Brothers, sisters, this is what he said
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
(Make no mistake, despite our traits I've seldom seen)
I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you), I can't relate to you
He was the kind of guy who'd always go right out of his way
But more before the crazy notion leapt right into his head
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception
I can't deny a funny feeling when he said
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
(Make no mistake, despite our traits I've seldom seen)
I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you), I can't relate to you
Dearest in memoriam, set phasers to stun
And grab yourself a neighbor's skeleton to lean upon
Did you know him in life one filled with regret
So soon we all forget we ever met
Do you know my name sing a light refrain
For a man estranged I won't deny that I'm inclined to isolate
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
(Make no mistake, despite our traits I've seldom seen)
(I can't relate to you)
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
Lyrics - Sorrow
Let me take you to the herding ground
Where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son
Won't you guide me now, for I can't see
A reason for the sufferin' and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong
Well, then I do imagine
There will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow, no more
When all soldiers lay their weapons down
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves
It's easy to imagine
There will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow, no more
No More
There will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow, no more
There will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow, no more
No More
'Dearest , in memoriam, set phasers to stun, and grab yourself a neighbor skeleton to lean upon" I love that line!
My favorite Bad Religion song. I am an ordained minister.
Lyrics - Chronophobia
These rational delusions have got to cease
The second hand has finally got the best of me
I'm too aware about the singularity
That brought me to the edge of time
And it's always on my mind now
They say what has passed is coming back some day
The world is turning faster but it's just one way
And I'm desperate to try most anything to breed
A simple Chronophobia
A simple Chronophobia now
A simple Chronophobia
A simple Chronophobia now
Maybe there's a science or technology
To help me come to terms with my maker
Since natural selection never banked on me
I must be an exception to the plan
Someone help me understand now
Cryogenic methods are intractable
And collagen polymers aren't so terrible
But they still can't prevent the inevitable farewell
A simple Chronophobia
A simple Chronophobia now
A simple Chronophobia
A simple Chronophobia now
bad religion yea!!
One of the best Southern California Punk bands, as well as their acoustic record to their first record, how could hell be any worse...
"One of the best Southern California Punk bands" ?! Not only the best SC punk band but the best worlwide punk band and the best worldwide band short.
You should feel good if you're one of the few. But it should scare the shit out of you also. Keep talking to people. Offend when necessary. But start with compassion. Remember it's not their fault until they understand themselves.
why is this titled new maps of hell acoustic... did it come out on this album.. no fair not on the vinyl version.!!
It's on the "deluxe" version...
great lyrics you can't say punk means nothing
Who says that?
Yo
What's a pirates favorite letter in Alphabet?
You'd think the R. But it's really the C.
why is there no comments
because there's no need to ?
Everyone's speechless
Suggestion bruh...I have a C word so try this remedy Turkeytail mushroom tea you will find yourself closer too him....and it will come too pass. The party will continue.
"Now the echoes roar for a story writ
That was hardly understood
And never any good"
Never any good?
