Let's gather 'round the carcass of the old deflated beast,
(Let's take a look at how dead society is)
We have seen it through the accolades and rested in its lea,
(you can see it by how in order to be happy you need from acknowledge from other people)
Syntactic is our elegance,
(what is beautiful to us is what society say it is )
Incisive our disease,
(always thinking we know it all is our spreading problem )
The swath endogenous of ourselves will be our quandary,
(whats are truly your thoughts/feelings vs what you have been taught to think will be our question)
We've nestled in its hollow and we've suckled at its breast,
(we live in and feed off society's brainwash)
Grandiloquent in attitude, impassioned yet inept,
(we have a show off attitude with a lot of passion but showing no skills)
Frivolous gavel our design,
(society teaches us to want unnecessary things just to have them)
Ludicrous our threat,
(being foolish show-offs will threatens society)
Excursive expeditions leave us holding less and less,
(to chase after superficial things will leave us holding less)
So what does it mean?
When we tell ourselves it's only for a while
(we tell ourselves we will conform temporarily but will come back to who we are)
We have been deceived
(but we have lied to our selves)
And it's only for a moment that the treasures of our day
(we think it's only temporary that our technology/stuff we think is gold and)
Make life easier to complicate,
(that is supposed to make life easy is making life more complicate)
The treasure thrown away,
(we have throw away whats really important in life)
I'm so tired
Of all the fucked up minds
Of all the terrorist religions
And their bullshit lines,
(I'm so tired of religions making up bullshit rules for people to live by)
And of all the hand-me-downs
From all industrial crimes
(and how people continue to teach there kids to listen to them and be a consumer but the industry robs us)
And the weeping mothers
(mothers crying{making there kid feel guilty}when there kid chooses not to be what society thinks they should be)
And those who are led so blind,
(the people who cant see that there nothing but a heard to the rich)
From the plastic protests
(the reason protests are aloud is to make people think they can change things)
And the hands of time
(getting older)
And the pursuit of mirth
(its almost as if people want to stay stupid and be laughed by the rich)
And all hating kind.
(rich business men being hateful and killing us with out mercy to make more money)
the song is about people in society are being herded like cattle through man made laws/ Religious lies, buying junk to impress others which is making the rich richer and how people continue to raise their kids to listen to them and if they don't they are told they're a bad person or stupid/unacceptable or wierd.
Oh please stuff it. The rich are richer for three reasons...one, they work hard and sacrifice family for their riches. Two, they invest wisely. Three, our corrupt wealthy politician in BOTH parties keep the laws lax with loopholes. (Why? Because they're probably invested in the rich man's wares) What religious lies? You wanna post rubbish, than stand behind it with facts. Ass.

Just because you're extremely bright and have a gift of language/writing does NOT mean every person believes all the sh*t you write. I expect you to back up what you say 'cause much of your political and social crap is just that...crap. Your opinions are no different (no better than) anyone's elses.

i have a right to an opinion on what the song means. Why would you get mad because I interpreted the way i see it. I don't have to back up any thing but this fact. That is how I read the lyrics and that is what I took from them. also its off the album titled "Against the Grain"

Your last paragraph was opinion, which you have a right to of course. However, when you shoot off charged opinion don't expect not to be called on it and asked to back up what you spouted. It's easy to shoot off one's mouth, but not so easy when you are asked to produce, is it.

also now that i caught question "What religious lies?" the band is called bad religion. they use a symbol of a cross crossed out. what do you take from that i thought it was self explanatory. also if your trying to be a "troll" you should try harder to make a valid point.

Against the Grain has album art on it which looks like its a bunch of fake corn and one real ear of corn. The corn could be a metaphor for most people are fake and few are real people(true to them selves).

funny how (to me it seems) the gist of the song seems to match up exactly the same as the gist of the lyrics of the song "against the grain". sound like the same point was trying to be made in both songs.

it is by no accident, but by precise design. against the grain is absolutely the theme of the album, and the cover art corresponding is a single ear of corn flowering against the grain.

I sincerely apologize to you. You did state that it was according to the song. I missed the first words of that paragraph. I'm sorry.

All I could do is to apologize, which I have already done. Whether you accept it or not is your choice.

I didn't see that there was a sorry till I had posted the second reply no hard feelings

Thank you, but your apology was unnecessary; I was the only one in the wrong. The band is an old one and its song is very interesting.
