Artist: bad religion
Song: them and us
Album: The Gray Race
Year: 1996
Let's go, despite that he saw blatant similarity
He struggled to find a distinctive moiety
All he found was vulgar superficiality
But he focused it to sharpness
And shared it with the others
It signified his anger and his misery
Them and us, lobbying determined through a mire of disbelievers
Them and us, dire perpetuation and incongruous insistence
That there really is a difference between them and us
Hate is a simple manifestation
Of the deep-seated, self-directed frustration
All it does is promote fear and consternation
It's the inability to justify the enemy
And it fills us all with trepidation
Them and us, bending the significance to match a whimsied fable
Them and us, tumult for the ignorant and purpose for the violence
A confused loose alliance forming them and us
And I heard him say, we can take them all
(We can take them all)
We can take them all, that's what he said
(We can take them all)
But he didn't know who we were and he didn't know who they were
And there wasn't any reason or motive, or value, to his story
Just allegory, imitation glory and a desperate feeble search for a friend
Come
Them and us, lobbying determined through a mire of disbelievers
Them and us, dire perpetuation and incongruous insistence
Tumult for the ignorant and purpose for the violence
A confused loose alliance forming them and us
We can take them all
We can take them all
