| Bad Religion – Prodigal Son Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I haven't read any of Horatio Alger work so I am not really sure how he fits into it, but the rest of the song is the story of the prodigal son but from the other son's perspective. "Do you ever forget - you had a regret - and what you only guessed at Might still be waiting?" sums up the other brother's resentment for their father's acceptance of the prodigal son. Like he is wishing bad things on his brother. Also the refrain of "Don't look at me, no I ain't one, no prodigal son" comes across to me in a very sarcastic tone again driving home the feelings of the other son. |

| Bad Religion – Fields of Mars Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| To me this song illustrates the dichotomy of human nature. On one side the "Fields of Mars" refer to war, hate, intolerance and the like. On the other side "Fields of Mars" also refers to the knowledge and scientific achievements we have made, and have the potential to make, namely the exploration and possible colonization of mars. | |
