Anxiety lyrics

Artist  : Bad Religion 
Song : Anxiety



 Send "Anxiety" Ringtone to your Cell 

 It's a love song to the self, a story recapped
every day,
It's a world of bogus feelings and a world of
slow decay,
It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of
fear and torment,
It's a game of strange compulsion, our visceral
convulsion:
  Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
  Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't
contain.
  Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common
man.
  Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if
you can.
The caste of coffee achievers didn't perform like
they planned.
The morning rush hour traffic is our play of
false elan.
So run around your frantic track and lay you down
to sleep;
Tomorrow's the redemption, we strive for that
exception.
  Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
  Anxiety, a fear that you have nothing more to
gain.
  Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common
man.
  Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if
you can.
    What are we angry for?
    We all need a common cure.
    That common goal for which you strive:
    To have more than the other (have more than
the other) guy.
      The quest for truth, the quest for gold,
yeah, we end up all the same
      The common lie, the righteous cry, we end
up all the same.
      The angry crowd, those lost and found,
everybody's all the same.
      The poet's pen, these words I lend, we all
bend to
  Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
  Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't
contain.
  Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common
man.
  Foundation of society, anxiety.
