Change of Ideas (00:56)
Bad Religion • No Control
Well the sheaves have all been brought
But the fields have washed away
And the palaces now stand
Where the coffins all were laid
And the times we see ahead
We must glaze with rosy hues
For we don't wish to admit
What it is we have to lose

Millennia in coming
The modern age is here
It sanctifies the future
Yet renders us with fear

So many theories, so many prophecies
What we do need is a change of ideas
When we are scared, we can hide in our reveries
But what we need is a change of ideas
Change of ideas, change of ideas
What we need now is a change of ideas

No Control (01:47)
Bad Religion • No Control
Culture was the seed of proliferation
But it has gotten melded
Into an inharmonic whole (2x)

Consciousness has plagued us
And we can not shake it
Though we think we're in control (2x)

Questions that besiege us in life
Are testament of our helplessness

There's no vestige of beginning
No prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate
It will all happen again, yeah

Time is so rock solid in the minds of the hoards
But they can't
Explain why it should slip away (2x)

History and future are the comforts of our
Curiosity but here we are
Rooted in the present day (2x)

Questions that besiege us in life
Are testament of our helplessness

There's no vestige of beginning
No prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate
It will all happen again, yeah

If you came to conquer you'll be king for a day
But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away
And believe these words you hear
When you think your path is clear

We have no control (2x)

We have no control
We do not understand
You have no control
You are not in command

We have no control (2x)
No control (2x)
You have no control

Automatic Man (01:40)
Bad Religion • No Control
He's the latest superhero with powers so profound
He can leap a dotted line in just a single bound
I know you must have seen him in the books and magazines
He's the quintessential mindless modern epicene

His life is meaningful
Because he gets things done
Bang bang he's dead
(Bang bang he's dead)
Chalk up another triumph for our hero
The automatic man

It's true you must have met him
He's your best friend and your foe
His opinions are determined
By the status quo

A true creature of habit
He smokes 3 packs a day
When he has an original thought
He forgets it right away

He's the automatic man

He's a paradigm of carefree living
He's our mentor disturb him if you can
He's the answer if your peace of mind is lacking
He's our savior he is the common man
So if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind
Then take another look around and brother you will find

The automatic man

I Want to Conquer the World (02:19)
Bad Religion • No Control
Hey brother christian, with your high and mighty errand
Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear a word your 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 of my decisions
With a quick wink of the eye and a "God you must be joking"

Hey mister diplomat, with your worldly aspirations
Did you see your children cry when you left them at the station?
Hey moral soldier, you've got righteous proclamations
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 their pollution and then I'll save the whales
We'll have peace on earth and global communion

I want to conquer the world (4x)

Sanity (02:44)
Bad Religion • No Control
There's a watch in my pocket and its hands are broken
The face is blank but the gears are turning
Confusion is a fundamental state of mind
It doesn't really matter what I'm figuring out
I'm guaranteed to wind up in a state of doubt

And sanity is a full time job
In a world that is always changing
And sanity is a state of mind
That you believe in sanity

There's a shadow on the wall where the paint is peeling
My body's moving forward but my mind is reeling
Depression is a fundamental state of day
It doesn't really matter how my day has turned out
I always end up living in this world of doubt

And sanity is a full time job
In a world that is always changing
And sanity will make you strong
If you believe in sanity

And sanity is a full time job
In a world that is always changing
And sanity is a state of mind
That you believe in sanity

Henchman (01:07)
Bad Religion • No Control
stranded
in a life in which your struggle for acceptance
is a never-ending chore
upbraided
for your actions past and present and rewarded for ideas
of the future's bright open door
the henchman
is the human analogue of the suffering multitudes
who like good dogs sit and lick for their reward
so what good advice have I got for you
to insure against your likely metamorphosis into this reprobate?
don't be a henchman!
stand on your laurels
do what no one else does
praise the good of other men for good man's sake
and when everyone else in the world follows your lead
(although a cold day in hell it will surely be)
that's when the entire world shall live in harmony

Progress (02:14)
Bad Religion • No Control
And progress
Is never intelligently planned
Its the facade of our heritage
The odor of our land

They speak of progress
In red, white and blue
It's the structure of the future
As demise comes seething through

It's progress
'Til there's nothing left to gain
As the dearth of new ideas
Makes us wallow in our shame

So before you go to contribute more
To the destruction of this world you adore
Remember life on earth is but a flash of dawn
We're all a part of it as the day rolls on

And progress
Is a message that we send
One step closer to the future
One inch closer to the end

I say progress
Is a synonym of time
We are all aware of it
But it's nothing we refine

And progress
Is a debt we all must pay
It's convenience we all cherish
It's pollution we disdain

And the cutting edge is dulling
Too many people to plow through
Just keep your fucking distance
and it can't include you

It's progress
'Til there's nothing left to gain
It's progress
It's a message that we send
And progress
Is a debt we all must pay

Anxiety (02:08)
Bad Religion • No Control
It's a love song to the self, a story recapped every day
It's a world of bogus feelings and a world of slow decay
It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment
It's a game of strange compulsion, our visceral convulsion

Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain
Anxiety a feeling that you know you can't contain
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man
Foundation of society, anxiety
Suppress it if you can

The caste of coffee-achievers didn't perform like they planned
The morning rush hour traffic is our play of false elan
So run around your frantic track and lay you down to sleep
Tomorrow's the redemption, we strive for that exception

Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain
Anxiety a fear that you have nothing more to gain
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man
Foundation of society, anxiety
Suppress it if you can

What are we angry for?
We all need a common cure
That common goal for which you strive
To have more than the other guy

The quest for truth, the quest for gold
We end up all the same
The common lie, the righteous cry
We end up all the same
The angry crowd, those lost and found
Everybody's all the same
The poet's pen, these words I lend
We all bend to

Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain
Anxiety a feeling that you know you can't contain
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man
Foundation of society, anxiety
