The Same Person Lyrics

you want prosperity for yourself but not for me somehow you just can't see we're in this collectively you think that freedom is a drastic severence from your past relations, just a quest for new bargains we're not the same person we're not the same person (don't you ever wanna know) wooohhh don't need no good advice nor shoddy merchandise i'm the suspect device, beaten down, unable to strike we're not the same person we're not the same person (don't you ever wanna know) wooohhh and the sun comes over us again we lament, we pine, and we rescind and we ask for understanding but aren't we the stingy ones indeed when it's needed from us in the end? we watch the days go by, compete and then we die so few ever ask why but so many just abuse the design we're not the same person we're not the same person (don't you ever wanna know) wooohhh we're not the same person we're not the same person (don't you ever wanna know) wooohhh

Maybe this has to do with all of us being different but collectively apart of something (the human race). It appears to me to be an attack on selfishness. We are not the same person, but that does not mean we can just step on each other or ignore each other's needs and wants.

"And we ask for understanding But aren't we the stingy ones indeed When it's needed from us in the end?"

My favorite part of any Bad Religion song. Wonder why no one else has bothered to comment. It's a pretty straight forward song, but what is cool about it is the simplicity in which it is written. A wise man does not always need to hide his meaning behind big words and symbolism.
