At the Mercy of Imbeciles Lyrics
What you do is what you are
And wishing upon distant stars
Won't improve the hole you're in
And won't absolve your deepest sin
But action is no gift from some covert and lofty god
It's dependent and weighty all the same
And it's oh so easy just to keep to yourself
But then you're at the mercy of imbeciles
Now I didn't make up the rules
But clearly we are led by fools
It is wise to know their ways
So you know how not to behave
But sometimes we find ourselves in desperate need
And we look to those with privilege and power
It's then we learn compassion sits inert upon their shelves
And we're at the mercy of imbeciles
No action is no gift from some masked spirit in the sky
It's reducible to flesh, mind, and bone
And it is oh so easy just to keep to yourself
But then you're at the mercy of imbeciles
Imbeciles
Imbeciles
Imbeciles
And wishing upon distant stars
Won't improve the hole you're in
And won't absolve your deepest sin
But action is no gift from some covert and lofty god
It's dependent and weighty all the same
And it's oh so easy just to keep to yourself
But then you're at the mercy of imbeciles
Now I didn't make up the rules
But clearly we are led by fools
It is wise to know their ways
So you know how not to behave
But sometimes we find ourselves in desperate need
And we look to those with privilege and power
It's then we learn compassion sits inert upon their shelves
And we're at the mercy of imbeciles
No action is no gift from some masked spirit in the sky
It's reducible to flesh, mind, and bone
And it is oh so easy just to keep to yourself
But then you're at the mercy of imbeciles
Imbeciles
Imbeciles
Imbeciles

Since I submitted it I guess I should say something. The song states that we follow imbeciles whether it be the Church, Stars, and other rich and famous because we are not sure about what is right and we assume that they know. But in the end, they are just idiots and we should not leave these decisions about how we act to them.
about politics, when you realize the line, of Retarded ones that are in power, and superior , free to make descisions and their inability to be just
Good song, not as "deep" and meaningful as other Bad Religion songs but still good.
A song written by imbeciles for imbeciles. What arrogance, of not just this band of idiots but it's a real bad statement for all their "intelligent" lemmings. All of you "Free Thinkers" Who need an atheist to tell you about god. These guys are just a bunch of clueless frauds who just use the poor for selling music. These guys are lower than politicians.
And what the hell makes you think that?
