Bad Religion - Past Is Dead
.
Solemn regret, transgressions fill my head
A measure of success is how well to forget
And the past is dead
.
Strewn about the battlefield of life are the remainders of history
When convenient we exalt them and pay them such respect
As if we re all in an equivalent trajectory
.
And trash piles high in the rubble we forgot
The angels of our nature just sit and watch it rot
.
Now, the past is dead
Let s focus on tomorrow instead
Oh the tragic present said
The past is dead
.
Who can say what constitutes the most important sector of society?
The dominant portion seek an instant gratification
And are proud of intellectual poverty
.
I d like to be empathetic but I can t
The jeopardy is too great to make a stand
.
Now the past is dead
Good deeds won t help you get ahead
The modern signpost read the past is dead
.
My next great decision is just lying in wait
The action might turn out to be the world s most grievous mistake
.
The past is dead
More veritable words have never been read
The tragic present said the past is dead
.
