Lyrics of 'Kyoto Now!' by Bad Religion

It's a matter of prescience
But not the science fiction kind
It's all about ignorance
And greed and miracles for the blind
The media parading, disjointed politics
Founded on petrochemical blunder
And we're its hostages

If you stand to reason you're in the game
The rules may be elusive but our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down, we all go down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
The world's going to hell

Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right.

You might not think it matters know, but what if you are wrong
You might not think there's any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long
A brutal sun rising on our sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy lays heavy on the day
It's never really what you own
But what you threw away, and how much did you pay

Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right.
In your dreams, you saw a steady state and bounty for eternity
Silent screams, but now the wisdom that sustains us is on full retreat

Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk
Kyoto now!
We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed
Alien
We need a fresh and new religion to run our lifes
Hand in hand
The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise

Kyoto now!
