Bad Religion - Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever lyrics

"Drop dead, it doesn't matter," she said "It only hurts when I laugh," she said "Sometimes it's never a crime "To spend the day in bed" She made certain that the curtains were red To dream better by the light they would shed She leaned back, tilted her head And this is what she said... "You can't win; think it over again "I can't win; look at the trouble I'm in "We can't win and we're stuck here together "Yeah, I hope it will last forever." "Don't ever dare to hope," he said "So I'm never let down too bad "I know there's nowhere to go "So I'll just stay here, instead" He knew better than to pull at a thread They unravel like the thoughts in his head He looked out; it filled him with dread And this is what he said... [Chorus] With good books and looks on their side And hearts bursting with national pride They sang songs and went along for the ride And the other side complied They said, "Hey, man, where do you reside?" "And could it be mother's superior lied?" "And is it possible too many have died?" It's only natural to reply [Chorus]
