lyrics

well a few of my favorite sites have been goin on about the new Neil Young album. Im not to much of a Neil Young fan but I look forward to hearing the new ablum, i think ill give a listen in a few. right now im jammin to a little Bad Religion in the office. Many people seem to have the wrong perception of punk. Punk was just people that were sick of the commercialized music in the mainstream and wanted to go back to basics three or four people fast lyric driven music. One of the first major punk bands, The Ramones loved 50's greaser music and have many songs that wouldnt be terrible out of place in the 50's. but back to Bad Religion. Im a big fan of these guys mostly because they have excellent lyrics that can easily be distinguished. Enunciation is a rare thing in punk rock i will admit. but heres a good example of there lyrics. Thanks to A-Z Lyrics for these.

The song is "I Want To Conquer The World"

from the Album "No Control"

Hey Brother Christian with your high and might errand,

Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear a word you're saying.

Hey Sister Bleeding Heart with all of your compassion,

Your labors soothe the hurt but can't assuage temptation.

Hey man of science with your perfect rules of measure,

Can you improve this place with the data that you gather?

Hey Mother Mercy can your loins bear fruit forever?

Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?

And I want to conquer the world,

Give all the idiots a brand new religion,

Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil,

Promote equality in all my decisions

With a quick wink of the eye

And a "God you must be joking!"

Hey Mr. Diplomat with your worldly aspirations,

Did you see the children cry when you left them at the station?

Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamation,

And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations.

And I want to conquer the world,

Give all the idiots a brand new religion,

Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil,

Promote equality in all of my decisions

I want to conquer the world,

Expose the culprits and feed them to the children,

I'll do away with air pollution and then all save the whales,

We'll have peace on earth and global communion.

I want to conquer the world! [x4]
