| Bad Religion – Kyoto Now! Lyrics

This song is an enjoyable one, and it's a good political anthem (although Bad Religion should have released it as a single in July 2001, when the issue was still up for discussion in America.) But even though I enjoy it, it's not THE highlight of "The Process of Belief." |

| Bad Religion – Sorrow Lyrics

I had no idea that Sorrow was getting air time, but then again all I can get are shit subsidiaries of Clear Channel Corporation broadcasting. I don't have anything against their being aboveground (if you stay underground forever, you're ghettoized).
Don't worry, Bad Religion is going to stay around for awhile... they sold out once already, they've reformed several times, and they're older than I am.
The best Bad Religion song in years, IMO... in no small part because it breaks the stereotype of Bad Religion, regardless of whether you've heard them or not. So subtle, so powerful... and (as an anarchist-pacifist) such an important reminder to myself. I love it. |

| Bad Religion – I Want to Conquer the World Lyrics

So intelligent, so clear, so ass-kicking... and so revealing. If I had money, I'd bet that this song will be the anthem of the next Joseph Stalin.
In re ThE GlOWiNg?: If this is about the effect on society through Catholicism, what's the explanation for "sister bleeding heart"? |

| Bad Religion – Faith Alone Lyrics
| 23 years ago

The entire point of the song IS that nobody's thinking about the answers to our imminent problems. (And don't bother denying they aren't there. Two weeks ago, the World Wildlife Foundation announced that the planet's ability to sustain life will have been totally obliterated by 2050.) Most of us just sit and believe that some "omnipotent" outside force will let us do nothing - progress, the Rapture, Fukuyama's "end of history" line, determinism and historicism in all their forms. That's what Bad Religion is about and against.
Even though I disagree with the reason given by ltjpezgirl, I generally agree this song needs to be blasted on radio stations across America. |

| Ministry – Hero Lyrics

With most forms of protest music being to my taste, I've heard a lot of anti-war songs... "Hero" takes the cake as being the most cynical, though. What's the line about old men starting wars and young men dying in them? |

| Rage Against the Machine – Sleep Now In The Fire Lyrics

Not just greed: it's about corporatist globalization. "The End of History" is a book by Francis Fukuyama, basically saying that "free-market capitalism" is inevitable, resistance is futile (if not evil for interfering with the course of history), and the best way to go would be to just embrace it.
To just swallow the poison pill, as it were. |
