Kyoto Now - 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 paradin' 
Disjointed politics 
Founded on petrochemical plunder 
And we're its hostages! 

If you stand to reason 
You're in the game 
The rules may be elusive 
But all 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 mythologic hopeful 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 
Can not 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 familliar knife. 

And supremacy 
Weighs 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 mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price 
Kyoto now 
We can't do nothing and think that someone else will make it right. 

In your dream 
You saw a steady state of bounty for eternity 
Silent scream 
But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat. 

Watch out 

Don't allow 
This mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk 
Kyoto now 
We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed 

Alien 
We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives 
Hand in hand 
The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise. 

Ohhhhh 
Kyoto now!
