BAD RELIGION lyrics : "Empty Causes"

everwhere you looked there was confusion, violence, drama and drugs
so many righteous revolutionaries spouting utopian love
everyone shrouded in purple haze

then one day they woke up from their dream state
they found themselves no more at peace than before
older, meek, and conformed


empty causes
a bluster for the soul, a fix for their mind

empty causes
cling to everything you find


well, the shots rang out like popcorn
and the Chief was hit and rushed out of sight
the mohawk-chain, leather brigade rejoiced maliciously on that night

someone cried out "$#&@ the government"
his mates couldn't define what he meant
so no one gave him the time of day

and the scene died away

empty causes

a war for the body, an army in the mind
empty causes
losing steam as time goes by


could it be that everybody selfishly desires their own personal retinue
and that causes are just manifestations

of too much time and far to little to do

empty causes

direction for the soul, conviction for the mind
empty causes
cling to everything you find

empty causes
you've got yours and I've got mine
