Emancipation Of The Mind

Yeah Walls of suspicion, spandrels of doubt Spasm of uncertainty, a world all inside-out Ubiquitous confusion, heads in the sand Self-appointed experts making claims they can't defend Or even understand The commons turned out to be a tragedy Oh, the victims are easy to find But the wellspring of true liberty Is emancipation of the mind Hey, chains of superstition all come undone Vivid illumination that's brighter than the sun Oh, a handicap of bigotry and prejudice All become a hinterland, a smoky wilderness The dominion of ignorance The commons turned out to be a tragedy Oh, the victims are easy to find But the wellspring of true liberty Is emancipation of the mind It's a stalemate of morality A debt for all mankind These haughty mental shackles make us blind To what is really right Oh, the commons turned out to be a tragedy Yeah, the victims are easy to find But the wellspring of true liberty Is emancipation of the mind Oh, see what you can find If you take a different line Emancipation of the mind --- Emancipation Of The Mind - Bad Religion
