Bad Religion – Age Of Unreason lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just to think that not so long ago was a man who risked his life
Who challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light

[Pre-Chorus]
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
How so few can be aware that their nation's heart is bleeding

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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, oh

[Chorus]
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
