Bad Religion - Against The Grain Riff 1 (play 2x) E------------------------------- B------------------------------- G--------------0---------------- D----------0-2---2-------------- A--3---2-3---------------------- E------------------------------- C E Three thousand miles of wilderness, overcome by the flow C E A lonely restitution of pavement, pomp, and show C E I seek a thousand answers, I find but one or two C E I maintain no discomfiture, my path again renewed Riff 2 A------------------------------- B--1---0------------------------ G--------2-0-------------------- D------------2-0-2-------------- A------------------------------- E------------------------------- (chorus: Riff 2 (3x) + Riff 1 (2x)) Against the grain That's where I'll stay Swimming up stream I maintain against the grain You're labeled as a lunatic, sequestered and content You're ignored and defeated by the government There's an oriented public whose magnetic force does pull But away from the potential of the individual (chorus) The flow is getting stronger with smaller increments of time And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find You need all that the other has, it's your right to sieze the day But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away (chorus) There's a common consensus an uncomfortable cheer A reverberated chorus that anyone can hear It sings leave your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously This lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly (chorus)
