Age of Unreason

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 can be aware that their nation's heart is bleeding But, oh, when the violence has begun We decree the pen more mighty than the gun While 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, oh, as a child that prays for fun With his eye up to the barrel of a gun Watching fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason Now the darkness has begun We decree the pen more mighty than the gun Watching fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason --- Age of Unreason - Bad Religion
