Who We Are Bad Religion

It's cold again
It looks like rain
A procession of humanity
Strikingly simian
Saunters by
I can't explain
Why it's troubling to see them so

Oh, better than
Who we are
With mania
And yearning for
And learning from
Oh, better than
Holiness
And candy aisles
Of loneliness
And sweet revenge

A cigarette
A memory
All connections to the permanent
Are burning
The pedestal
Gets in the way
And cannot withstand our honest scrutiny
