This is why I WON'T GROW UP atleast not until my son is able to truly appreciate why his dad knows what awesome sounds, feels and looks like. This is why I'm here.
I've been pondering these lyrics, and your assessment of them, and just now it reminded me of this: "Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Remember this, as it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him quickly and without hate." - Robert Heinlein
...And there goes three months followed, hearing the same songs from the same album. During this time, just wishing, "praying" to them never stop making great music.
One of the best songs Bad Fucking Religion ever had done. A so up to date lyrics. Covid´s cure is one of the hopes of the department of false hopes. Ya hey foreva
And just like that I've listened more to this album than I have the last two. Good shit guys -- now please play the LONG VERSION of Along the Way when you come to SF! That means twice through, double-time the second time! Puhlease?! This Bad Religion song will make my life complete!
Fully agree with the RFH and ATG references! Specially the riffs in Crisis Time sounds from recipe for sure!! The old school vibe and the continuation of the Dissent are so apparent in the whole album. Its amazing!! I think Im at 14 times too but kinda lost counts, march 30th will be one more time!! Beware the modern men !!
so jealous! i hear recipe for hate in this album too! that was my first BR album and my favorite so it's no wonder i really dig this album, this song in particular.
And play some of the B-lists that are better than the A-lists like Shattered Faith and Markovian Process. I am getting flashbacks of wearing away the back button (replay) on my diskman back in the day. Great song.
Welcome now, son, To where the work is never done And the hungry are seldom ever fed The department of false hope Is a proving ground for dopes And they'll grind your tiny bones to make their bread So hold your head up high, forgotten man Tomorrow won't be made for you And everybody's gonna try to lend a helping hand Forgotten man, there's nothing more to do He crackled on the radio Through bright plumes of the sun The announcer said the age of faith was dead Though the adolescent nation Was just looking for salvation The beast of reason reared its ugly head So hold your head up high, forgotten man Tomorrow's not for me and you And everybody's gonna try to lend a helping hand Forgotten man, there's nothing more to do From your cradle of destruction With the poorest of instruction And nearest sliver of a tune Oh, you managed somehow to muddle through So hold your head up high, forgotten man Tomorrow's not for me and you And everybody's gonna try to lend a helping hand Forgotten man, there's nothing more to do There is nothing more
Very interesting song choice. It seems to be about the right wing fear of a "hyper-rational" state. Which is why bad religion is so awesome, because despite being rationalists, they can understand and relate to that fear. Makes me think of the twilight zone episode "The Obsolete Man."
The best song of True North!
Damned Right!!

All time Bad Religion classic. Hugely underrated song. Awesome
What's it presently rated?
Greg's vocals are just so excellent.
"Tmrw is not for me and you" "for God and men, there's nothing more to do!"
WOW--awesome lyrics!
So much wisdom and such stunning empathy on display here...
Absolutely incredible.
Listened to this during Middle School, still listening to it nearly a month after graduation.
Punk Rock Isnt Dead! Its just old and goes to bed early
I cry each time I hear this
So wonderful. And here it's literally poetry

i miss you Hetson!!!!
Greg Hetson Exit Of Bad Religion 😞😞
This is probably my favorite song off the album. Great stuff, listening to it on loop.
Aww yeah! Thanks, walking down memory lane! Also, cheers to Epitaph for putting the whole thing on here!
One More: The best song of this album and one of the best ever.
Saw them live 14 times...great band. This album is a cross between Against the Grain and Recipe for Hate.....
That's an interesting take on this song.I love how bad religion makes you think and dissect the lyrics!
This is the best song of the Album!!
...And there goes three months followed, hearing the same songs from the same album. During this time, just wishing, "praying" to them never stop making great music.
Such a great album.
You, sir, are lucky. I missed my chance to see them live so far!!
I don't know if I like this or My Head is Full of Ghosts better.
that's a hard one I'm leaning more to this one but I do love the other one as well
Ohhh yeah the greatest punk band of all time is back this songs kicks ass
The best song of True North. It's on the way of being an anthem, like Sorrow.
New Bad religion's classic. Fucking love this.

Welcome now, son,
To where the work is never done
And the hungry are seldom ever fed
The department of false hope
Is a proving ground for dopes
And they'll grind your tiny bones to make their bread
So hold your head up high, forgotten man
Tomorrow won't be made for you
And everybody's gonna try to lend a helping hand
Forgotten man, there's nothing more to do
He crackled on the radio
Through bright plumes of the sun
The announcer said the age of faith was dead
Though the adolescent nation
Was just looking for salvation
The beast of reason reared its ugly head
So hold your head up high, forgotten man
Tomorrow's not for me and you
And everybody's gonna try to lend a helping hand
Forgotten man, there's nothing more to do
From your cradle of destruction
With the poorest of instruction
And nearest sliver of a tune
Oh, you managed somehow to muddle through
So hold your head up high, forgotten man
Tomorrow's not for me and you
And everybody's gonna try to lend a helping hand
Forgotten man, there's nothing more to do
There is nothing more
0.75 for peak goosebumps.
Tomorrow won't be made for me or you
from chile
me gusta, mucho! super geiler song! high intensity punk!
Very nice No Direction reference
2018 Brasil
osti nene que weeeenaaa
One of my favorite ! A cry for salvation from being ripped off by the govrnmnt . Is nt it ?
same.
Is your space bar broken?
best song since American jesus
👍🙂
for now
The best we can do:...
Anyone else hear the musical allusions to John Lennon's "Imagine"? This song works almost like a cynical retort to that song.
its a good thing hahaha
"Hosannah!": Mr. Brett finally goes back to his jewish roots and sings hebrew :D
lol.... religious ads before bad religion videos.
Irony at it's finest
A guy named after this song on discord sent me here.
If he sees this
Thank you.
