Текст песни Bad Religion - Against The Grain

Three thousand miles of wilderness
Overcome by the flow
A lonely restitution of pavement
Pomp and Show
I seek a thousand answers
I find but one or two
I maintain no discomfiture
My path again renewed

Against the Grain, That's where I'll stay,
Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain

Here labeled as a lunatic
Sequestered and Content
They're ignored and defeated by the government
There's an oriented public who's magnetic force does pull
but away from the potential of the individual

Against the Grain, That's where I'll stay,
Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain

The flow is getting stronger with smaller increments of time
and eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find
You need all that the other has
It is your right to seize the day
But in all your acquisitions
You will soon be swept away

Against the Grain, That's where I'll stay,
Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain

There's a common consensus
and an uncomfortable cheer
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
It sings "leave your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously"
This lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly

Against the Grain, That's where I'll stay,
Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain
