Bad Religion - Emancipation of the mind lyrics

Walls of suspicion, spandrels of doubt Spasms of uncertainty, a world all inside-out Ubiquitous confusion, heads in the sand Self-appointed experts making claims they can’t defend or even understand The commons turned out to be a tragedy Oh, the victims are easy to find But the wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind Hey! Chains of superstition all come undone Vivid illumination that’s brighter than the sun A handicap of bigotry and prejudice All becomes a hinterland, a smoky wilderness .. the dominion of ignorance The commons turned out to be a tragedy Oh, the victims are easy to find But the wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind It’s a stalemate of morality, a debt for all mankind These haughty mental shackles make us blind to what is really right The commons turned out to be a tragedy Yeah, the victims are easy to find But the wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind See what you can find if you take a different line Emancipation of the minddd
