Bad Religion Lyrics

Album: The Empire Strikes First

All There Is Lyrics

This song goes out 

 to all the hopeless sinners, 

 with grave allegiances, 

 so meaningless and vain, 

 

 The walking wounded in a pagent of contenders

 Who balance on a rail of pain for just a pail of rain

 

 And everything is barely mist, blood relations and bricks

 my expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson, more than this, 

 once again, like a bullet as a friend, tell me: can that be all there is? 

 

 In my rectory of doubt, I kneel to pray like one devout, 

 As time the great gray dreamless sleep of a useless modern god

 erodes away each storied day as wretched Adams with hell to pay

 Content upon a rail of pain for just a little rain.

 

 And everything is dearly missed, blood relations and bricks

 my expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson, more than this, 

 once again, like a bullet as a friend, tell me: can that be all there is? 

 

 There’s an endless disposition, 

 and it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing— 

 there’s space for a paper-airplane race in the eye of a hurricane. 

 

 And if pigs could fly, then surely so could I, 

 but this pedestrian knows better than to even try, 

 and my divinity is caught between the colors of a butterfly. 

 

 And everything is dearly missed, blood relations and bricks

 my expression, my confession, add it up, extract duress and more than this, 

 once again, like a bullet as a friend, tell me: can that be all there is? 

 All there is?
