Kyoto Now Songtext

von Bad Religion

It's a matter of prescience
No, not the science fiction kind
It's all about ignorance
And greed and miracles for the blind
The media parade and disjointed politics
Founded on petrol chemical plunder
And we're its hostages
If you stand to reason
You're in the game
The rules may 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 world's going to hell
Don't allow
This mythological full monster to exact its price
Kyoto now
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
You might not think it matters now
But what if you were wrong?
You might not think there's any wisdom
In a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long
A brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy weights heavy on the day
It's never really what you own but what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Don't allow
This mythological full monster to exact its price
Kyoto now
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
In your dreams
You saw a steady state of mind before eternity
Silent scream
But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat
Watch out!
Don't allow
This mythological full monster isn't worth the risk
Kyoto now
We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed
Alein
We need a fresh new religion to run our lives
Hand in hand
The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise
Kyoto now
