BAD RELIGION - Cease lyrics

rate me

blacktop pavement cover me

like a chemical reaction or a steam roller

spreading randomly

there's a distant and a low frequency

it tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet

and it shakes the leaves off of every tree (violently)

what pretension! Everlasting peace

everything must cease

institution on the Hill

like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor

to ignite a people's will

there's a shadowed stain on the west facade

it has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud

and the descendants find oh so odd

(oh so odd)

what pretension! Everlasting peace

everything must cease

grave memorial hewn white stone

like the comforting caress of a mother

or a friend you've always known

it evokes such pain and significance

and the generations pass without recompense

what pretension! Everlasting peace

everything must cease
