about

Bad Religion are one of our favourite bands ever, hear the original version of this song on their incredible '93 album Recipe For Hate.

This was one of the first recordings we ever did and the track is on some versions of our first EP.

Liam - guitar/vocals
Stu - bass

lyrics

A grizzly scene on my electron beam/
Told a story about human rights/
So all of King's horses and all of King's men/
Had a riot for two days and nights/
Well the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open/
So the company asked him to quit/
Now everybody's equal/
Just don't measure it/

Well Hanson did it to Hester/
And Mark David did it to John/
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn/
But he did it to South Vietnam/
For beauty and glory/
For money love and country/
Now everybody's doing it/
Don't do that to me/

A bitter debate and a feminine fate/
Lie in tandem like two precious babes/
While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters/
Except on the nation's airwaves/
And custodians of public opinion stayed back/
After vainly discussing her rights/
Lay hands off her body/
It's not your fucking life/

Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ/
From turning every hungry stone into bread/
And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted/
When the innocent first born sons lay dead/
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative/
Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea/
Now everybody's praying/
Don't pray on me/
