Age Of Unreason lyrics - Bad Religion

Just to think that not so long ago

Was a man who risked his life

He challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth

Just to cast a brighter light

The notion that we

Can live as one in perfect harmony

Requires a common sensibility

To teach an intellectual capacity

That I believe

Is in the air but everywhere

Is the ultimate act of treason

That so few could be aware

That their nation's heart is bleeding

And oh! when the violence has begun

We decree the pen more mighty than the gun

But the fools believe, as one

In this unrepentant age of unreason

Just to think that not so long ago

Was a man who received the seal

He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny

To divide his people with zeal

But we

Can live as one in perfect harmony

It requires a common sensibility

To teach an intellectual capacity

That I believe

Is in the air but everywhere

Is the ultimate act of treason

How so few can be aware

That their nation's heart is bleeding

But I, as a child who plays for fun

With his eye up to the barrel of a gun

Watch the fools believe, as one

In this unrepentant age of unreason

Now that darkness has begun

We decree the pen more mighty than the gun

While the fools believe, as one

In this unrepentant age of unreason
