Bad Religion – Kyoto Now!

Its a matter of prescience -no, not the science fiction kind

Its all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind

The media parading, disjointed politics

founded on petrochemical plunder, and were its hostages

If you stand to reason youre in the game

The rules might be elusive but our pieces are the same

And you know if one goes down we all go down as well

The balance is precarious as anyone can tell

This worlds going to hell

Dont allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price

Kyoto now!

We cant do nothing and think someone else will make it right

You might not think it matters now but what if you are wrong

You might not think theres any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song

But the way it is cannot persist for long

A brutal sun is rising on our sick horizon

Its in the way we live our lives

Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife

And supremacy weighs heavy on the day

Its never really what you own but what you threw away

and how much did you pay?

Dont allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price

Kyoto now!

We cant do nothing and think someone else will make it right

In your dreams you saw a steady state a bounty for eternity

Silent screams

But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat

Watch out!

Dont allow this mythologic hopeful monster isnt worth the risk

Kyoto now!

We cant have vision for the future if it cant be fixed

Alien

We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives

Hand in hand

The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise

Oh, Kyoto now!
