Bad Religion - ＂New America＂

"New America" by ‪@badreligionband‬ from the album 'The New America' Written by Greg Graffin Produced by Todd Rundgren Mixed by Bob Clearmountain Mastered by Gavin Lurssen Greg Graffin - vocals Brian Baker - guitar Greg Hetson - guitar Jay Bentley - bass Bobby Schayer - drums Lyrics Do you know the cost of future misery? Have you lost your sense of sustainability? We are just a step away from realizing what we strive to be But we've got to break out from this insulated blind and lame senility Wake up the new America Wo-oh! Transcend the mass hysteria Wo-oh! Change is the thing you're wary of Wo-oh! We need a new America Wo-oh! Laurels, human triumph, bestowments from the past Victories don't mean a thing if they don't last We are just marching toward extinction with blinders on our eyes Jeopardizing everything we've learned and come to realize You call that wise? Open your eyes America Wo-oh! See through the lies they tell us Wo-oh! Confront the fears that worry us Wo-oh! We need a new America Wo-oh! We don't have to be afraid to reinvent We've got to start to build, progress, and implement For when we take our fill, and never pay the price We only build ourselves a fleeting, false paradise You can live in staunch denial and mark me as your enemy But I'm just a voice among the throng who want a brighter destiny They say with me We are the new America Wo-oh! This is the new America?
