What Are We Standing For Bad Religion

[Verse 1]
An adventure in secular morality
Shouldn't be an insurrection to us all
And a counterfeit political currency
Shouldn't stand as a patriotic call
All the vitriol and hyperbole
Testifies to vacant humanity
And the rabble that is pounding at the door
Don't know what they're standing for anymore

[Chorus]
Find some understanding for
Those who kneel to implore
Know just what they're standing for

[Verse 2]
What's the lasting legacy
Of the humanistic progress that we made?
Or the blood that spilled for someone else's
Profit, but would never be repaid?
There's a useless hope of the afterlife
But it can't assuage all the toil and strife
And the pious who were promised so much more
Don't know what they're standing for anymore

[Chorus]
Show some understanding for
Those who can't hope for more
Know just what they're standing for
Oh-oh-oh, find some understanding for
Those who kneel to implore
Know just what they're standing for
