Bad Religion - Inner Logic

tune down to D

(verse rhythm)
D               A#              C              D
Automatons with business suits, swinging black boxes

D                A#            C      D
Sequestering the blueprints of dayly life

D                   A#           C               D
Content and free of care they rejoice in morning rituals

        D                   A#                C             D
As they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky

(chorus rhythm 1)
D           A#               C#           C
I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstration

      A#              C#            A
Don't look for new concensus, don't stray from constitution

     D          A#            C#         C
If I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation

         A#             C#           A
Just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception

(chorus rhyhtm 2)
D                 A#    F  G  C
There is an inner logic

    D                    A#          F  G  C
And we're taught to stay far from it

      D            A#     F  G  C
It is simple and elegant

        D              A#     F  G  C
But it's cruel and antithetic

A
And there's no effort to reveal it

(continue w/ lyrics)
Graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
In segacious dialog they despise their average ways
Betraying pomp and discipline, they mold their institutions
Where they practice exclusion on the masses every day

I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
if I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation
just the bald and over truth
of the evil and deception

there is an inner logic,
and we're taught to stay far from it
it is simple and elegant,
but it's cruel and antithetic
and there's no effort to reveal it

decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
simulating tyranny under red alert
protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
they expect redemption of character and self-growth

I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
if I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation
just the bald and over truth
of the evil and deception

there is an inner logic,
and we're taught to stay far from it
it is simple and elegant,
but it's cruel and antithetic
and there's no effort to reveal it
