Misery and Famine Songtext

von Bad Religion

So proud a history
Replete with sanctity
Orbs in their harmony
They sing their code to me
Have you ever heard yourself
The orbit that you're in?
The terse, oppressive blanket
That's instilled here by our spin

It's misery and famine
It's a force we cannot see
Misery and famine
It compels us naturally
Misery and famine
Great ellipse, we bend to thee
Misery and famine
Just accept your vagrancy

Others who bear no name
Who feel that life's a game
My verse they will defame
We suffer all the same
They pay no regard
To their position or their speed
The firmament still covers them
With it's malevolent seed

"you look for meaning in things no one comprehends
You feel no affinity to the rabble we're in"
Sources of inquiry hve nothing to portend
They will perplex us all until the coming end

A feeling of despair
Hungry and full of care
We resent everywhere
The fortune that we share
"this earth could be a better place"
Is a concept I condone
Give our pathetic course
Our destiny is known
