Age Of Unreason – Bad Religion

Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who risked his life
He challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light

The notion that we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe

Is in the air but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation’s heart is bleeding

And oh! when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
But the fools believe, as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason

Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny
To divide his people with zeal

But we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
It requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe

Is in the air but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
How so few can be aware
That their nation’s heart is bleeding

But I, as a child who plays for fun
With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watch the fools believe, as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Now that darkness has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe, as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
