Suffer Lyrics
Did you ever see the concrete stares of everyday?
The lunatic, the hypocrite, are all lost in the fray.
Can't you see their lives are just like yours?
An unturned stone, an undiscovered
Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity have always had to suffer.
The businessman whose master plan controls the world each day
Is blind to indications of his species' slow decay.
Can't you see his life is just like yours?
An unturned stone, an undiscovered
Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity have always had to suffer.
People blow their minds (they choose to resign)
This deformed society is part of the design.
It'll never go away (it's in the cards that way).
The masses of humanity have always, always had to suffer!
A door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity, still clinging to their dignity,
The masses of humanity will always have to suffer.
Always have to suffer.
The lunatic, the hypocrite, are all lost in the fray.
Can't you see their lives are just like yours?
An unturned stone, an undiscovered
Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity have always had to suffer.
The businessman whose master plan controls the world each day
Is blind to indications of his species' slow decay.
Can't you see his life is just like yours?
An unturned stone, an undiscovered
Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity have always had to suffer.
People blow their minds (they choose to resign)
This deformed society is part of the design.
It'll never go away (it's in the cards that way).
The masses of humanity have always, always had to suffer!
A door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity, still clinging to their dignity,
The masses of humanity will always have to suffer.
Always have to suffer.

This song is about how fucked up life is and how depressing it is to be a human. It's not very specific, much like other bad religion songs. it's not just about "corporations" it says the masses of humanity have ALWAYS had to suffer.
It's about the corporations and the government, who take everything for themselves and leave the masses suffering, but they just don't give a fuck...
Okay Bender is great got it right. (Bender IS great, btw). It's not really about the "government" or "big corporations" or anything like that. I don't really see how you got that out of this song.
This song is about how humans are required to suffer. Always have and always will. Everyone one suffers from something, there's no way around it. Some people suffer from poverty, some from cancer, some from harassment, whatever it is, everyone suffers and there is no way around it.
That is what this song is about, not "government" or "big corporations". Punk (especially Bad Religion) goes beyond those worn out songs.
awesome song. one of bad religions best.
about big corperations leaving hundreds of millions of kids suffering, while they reap the benefits.
This song is purely just a song about the current global situation. The age old battle between the "haves" and the "have-nots". The "haves" not helping the "haves-nots" and Greg's basically saying that this sad cycle of "slow decay" will always continue and that the majority of people around the world will always suffer while remaining in that sad cycle.
are you fucking kidding me? 3 comments? this is bad religion's best song!
'This deformed society is part of the design.'
This line really reminded me of Orwell's 1984. It wouldn't be the first time there was an Orwell reference in BR lyrics.
Brilliant song
The businessman whose master plan controls the world each day Is blind to indications of his species' slow decay. Can't you see his life is just like yours?
Hmmm. I've tried to think the answer to this. My guesses:
The Buisness man is the whole government. The goverenment is slowly decaying, falling apart onto the masses of humanity who will always have to suffer.
is it "The businessman whose have-to plan controls the world each day" ?
